LZ4 HC doesn't support match references that are exactly 65535 bytes backwards #47

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!
