LZ4 HC doesn't support match references that are exactly 65535 bytes backwards #46

Hi Yann,

If you give LZ4 HC a sequence such as

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, [...65530 incompressible bytes...], 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, [other 
bytes]]

LZ4 HC won't be able to compress it because it always cheks ref > 
ip-MAX_DISTANCE instead of ref >= ip-MAX_DISTANCE (see attached patch for more 
details).

Thank you!

Thanks Adrien. Clear and simple. I'll update it.

The RC version in attached file integrates your proposed correction regarding 
extended LZ4 HC detection window.

Looks good. For what it's worth, all my Java tests pass with this RC.
