* Optimized the arm64 implementation of simd8x64::compress
This is ~35% faster on the fast_minify benchmarks on Apple M1
* Return byte-count from simd8x64::compress
This avoids a redundant popcount on ARM, for ~3% faster minify
on Apple M1
* This adds a little test to see if we can compiler with very strict flags.
* Trimming a leftover old-style cast.
* More cleaning.
* A few more pedantic casts.
* Entering a new UTF-8 test
* Maybe *I* had a bug in the tests.
* Replacing nulls with 1s.
* Let us try to be more verbose.
* Return 0.
* Fixing issue.
* Adding puzzler scenario.
* Fixing PPC64

* Initial PPC64 support
* Add travis CI
* Fix outdated cmake version for travis
* Fix indendtation
* Try another workaround for outdated cmake in travis
* Try beta cmake
* Add dash before beta
* Use builtin snaps
* Use cmake as rocksdb
* Test cmake on bionic
* Remove unnecessary things from travis
* Remove unnecessary things from travis
* Another try of compiler install
* Add all major compilers
* Add all major compilers
* Add all major compilers
* Tweak travis a bit
* Typo
* More robust travis
* Typos typos typos
* Add fewer compilers, add non specific build for clang and gcc, should be the final config
* CMAKE_FLAGS is in incorrect place
* Remove default implementation
* Limit build thread number
* Fall back prefix_xor to a usual implementation, no performance boost is noticed
* Test for power9 as it is the main architecture for OpenPOWER right now
* Add to documentation to build with power9 as the implementation is compatible but compiler optimizations is not
* Replace ARM with PPC in the comment
