mem-cache: Create CPack compressor
Implementation of C-Pack, as described in "C-Pack: A High- Performance Microprocessor Cache Compression Algorithm".
C-Pack uses pattern matching schemes to detect and compress frequently appearing data patterns. As in the original paper, it divides the input in 32-bit words, and uses 6 patterns to match with its dictionary.
For the patterns, each letter represents a byte: Z is a null byte, M is a dictionary match, X is a new value. The patterns are ZZZZ, XXXX, MMMM, MMXX, ZZZX, MMMX.
