Speedups and fixes to the decoder.

  * Read data by 4-byte runs.
    This resolves unaligned read (Bus error) on arm-android.

  * Get rid of malloc/free in BrotliBuildHuffmanTable.

  * Tweak order of instructions when reading Huffman codes.

brotli

Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.

The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
