Improve ABI backward & forward compatibillity
- Padd the compressor config union
- 128 bytes aught to be enough for everyone, i.e. future compressors.
- Insist that the padding space is initialized to 0. If a field gets
added to an existing compressor, it can test for 0 as a sentinel
value.
- Add a size field to the hook structure, aka "the Microsoft way".
- The explanation is in the comment.
- Don't make the Microsoft mistake of checking for >=, insist on *exact*
size match. Future users will need a fallback if their hooks are
rejected. But at least they will be rejected instead of silently not
being used.
- Add an unsupported flag check to the dir tree reader.
- Add a basic abi unit test that, for now, checks the size of the compressor
config struct fields.
