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.
