Integer compression with SIMD based on Google’s varint

StreamVByte is an integer compression technique that applies SIMD instructions vectorization to Google’s varint approach. The net result is faster than other byte-oriented compression techniques. The approach is patent-free, the code is available under the Apache License. It includes fast differential coding. It assumes a recent Intel processor e.g., haswell or better, though we provide runtime dispatching for compatibility with legacy systems or an ARM processor with NEON instructions which is almost all of them.
