/*
These functions convert data that contain CPU instructions.
Each such function converts relative addresses to absolute addresses in some
branch instructions: CALL (in all converters) and JUMP (X86 converter only).
Such conversion allows to increase compression ratio, if we compress that data.
 
There are 2 types of converters:
  Byte * Conv_RISC (Byte *data, SizeT size, UInt32 pc);
  Byte * ConvSt_X86(Byte *data, SizeT size, UInt32 pc, UInt32 *state);
Each Converter supports 2 versions: one for encoding
and one for decoding (_Enc/_Dec postfixes in function name).
 
In params:
  data  : data buffer
  size  : size of data
  pc    : current virtual Program Counter (Instruction Pinter) value
In/Out param:
  state : pointer to state variable (for X86 converter only)
 
Return:
  The pointer to position in (data) buffer after last byte that was processed.
  If the caller calls converter again, it must call it starting with that position.
  But the caller is allowed to move data in buffer. so pointer to
  current processed position also will be changed for next call.
  Also the caller must increase internal (pc) value for next call.
  
Each converter has some characteristics: Endian, Alignment, LookAhead.
  Type   Endian  Alignment  LookAhead
  
  X86    little      1          4
  ARMT   little      2          2
  ARM    little      4          0
  ARM64  little      4          0
  PPC     big        4          0
  SPARC   big        4          0
  IA64   little     16          0
 
  (data) must be aligned for (Alignment).
  processed size can be calculated as:
    SizeT processed = Conv(data, size, pc) - data;
  if (processed == 0)
    it means that converter needs more data for processing.
  If (size < Alignment + LookAhead)
    then (processed == 0) is allowed.
 
Example code for conversion in loop:
  UInt32 pc = 0;
  size = 0;
  for (;;)
  {
    size += Load_more_input_data(data + size);
    SizeT processed = Conv(data, size, pc) - data;
    if (processed == 0 && no_more_input_data_after_size)
      break; // we stop convert loop
    data += processed;
    size -= processed;
    pc += processed;
  }
