lib/lz4: update LZ4 decompressor module

Update the LZ4 compression module based on LZ4 v1.8.3 in order for the
erofs file system to use the newest LZ4_decompress_safe_partial() which
can now decode exactly the nb of bytes requested [1] to take place of the
open hacked code in the erofs file system itself.

Currently, apart from the erofs file system, no other users use
LZ4_decompress_safe_partial, so no worry about the interface.

In addition, LZ4 v1.8.x boosts up decompression speed compared to the
current code which is based on LZ4 v1.7.3, mainly due to shortcut
optimization for the specific common LZ4-sequences [2].

lzbench testdata (tested in kirin710, 8 cores, 4 big cores
at 2189Mhz, 2GB DDR RAM at 1622Mhz, with enwik8 testdata [3]):
