Tomas Vondra 0070b66fef pg_dump: Use only LZ4 frame format for compression
After 0da243fed0 got committed, it was reported that in some cases the
compression ratio is rather poor - particularly for custom format with
narrow tables - due to writing the LZ4 header/footer for each row.

This commit switches to LZ4F (LZ4 frame format), eliminating most of the
overhead and greatly improving the compression ratio. This makes the
compressed size about the same for plain and custom formats (just like
for gzip, for example).

LZ4F is now used by both compression APIs, which allowed refactoring and
reusing more of the code. For consistency this also renames the LZ4File
struct to LZ4State, and a number of functions are now prefixed with
LZ4Stream_ (instead of LZ4File_).

Patch by Georgios Kokolatos, based on report and initial patch by Justin
Pryzby. Review and minor cleanups by me.

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
