Very fast zlib-compatible compression. #172

The Intel Storage Acceleration Library provides very fast zlib-compatible compression and also very fast CRC calculation. Speed ups from 3-6x are not uncommon in the decompression/compression department. Despite the name it also works well on competing X86 and on ARM archetictures.

This is not related to either LZ4 or XXHash, but since this library is made for people who care about very speedy compression and hashing I thought it would be of interest to some people here. There are some Java bindings in the Genomics Kernel Library for the compression part, but no specific Java implementation.
