compress/flate: use a constant hash table size for Best Speed.
This makes compress/flate's version of Snappy diverge from the upstream
golang/snappy version, but the latter has a goal of matching C++ snappy
output byte-for-byte. Both C++ and the asm version of golang/snappy can
use a smaller N for the O(N) zero-initialization of the hash table when
the input is small, even if the pure Go golang/snappy algorithm cannot:
"var table [tableSize]uint16" zeroes all tableSize elements.
For this package, we don't have the match-C++-snappy goal, so we can use
a different (constant) hash table size.
This is a small win, in terms of throughput and output size, but it also
enables us to re-use the (constant size) hash table between
encodeBestSpeed calls, avoiding the cost of zero-initializing the hash
table altogether. This will be implemented in follow-up commits.
