Speed up deflation for level 0 (storing).
The previous code slid the window and the hash table and copied
every input byte three times in order to just write the data as
stored blocks with no compression. This commit minimizes sliding
and copying, especially for large input and output buffers.
Level 0 compression is now more than 20 times faster than before
the commit.
Most of the speedup is due to deferring hash table slides until
deflateParams() is called to change the compression level away
from 0. More speedup is due to copying directly from next_in to
next_out when the amounts of available input data and output space
permit it, avoiding the intermediate pending buffer. Additionally,
only the last 32K of the used input data is copied back to the
sliding window when large input buffers are provided.
