We had some inconsistencies before:
- Sometimes "The", sometimes "the"
- Sometimes trailing ".", sometimes no trailing "."
I picked the most common one (lowecase "the", trailing ".") and applied
it to all copyright headers.
By using the exact same string everywhere we can ensure nothing gets
missed during a global search (and replace), and that these
inconsistencies are not spread any further (as copyright headers are
commonly copied to new files).
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.
ambr --no-parent-ignore --key-from-file --rep-from-file key.txt rep.txt *
This ensures that when a DeflateCompressor stream is cleared of any
errors its underlying wrapped streams (InputBitStream/InputMemoryStream)
will be cleared as well and wont fail a VERIFY on destruction.
Very incompressible data could sometimes produce no backreferences
which would result in no distance huffman code being created (as it
was not needed), so VERIFY the code exists only if it is actually
needed for writing the stream.
This commit adds a fully functional DEFLATE compression
implementation that can be used to implement compression
for higher level formats like gzip, zlib or zip.
A large part of this commit is based on Hans Wennborg's
great article about the DEFLATE and zip specifications:
