Eric Biggers 57cab078f1 lib: optimize decompressing repeated static Huffman blocks
Improve libdeflate's worst-case performance decompressing malicious
DEFLATE streams by about 14x, bringing it within a factor of about 2x of
zlib, by skipping rebuilding the decode tables for the static Huffman
codes when they're already loaded into the decompressor.

This improves performance decompressing a stream of all empty static
Huffman blocks from about 0.36 MB/s to 175 MB/s, or the original
reproducer given on the Github issue from about 3.3 MB/s to 219 MB/s.
A regression test is added for these cases as well as the empty dynamic
Huffman blocks case to verify worst-case performance comparable to zlib.
