Yeah, I'm also doubtful about that. If we're freeng the compression
context, we shouldn't need to guarantee that it's in any particular
state before doing so. Why would any critical cleanup be part of
LZ4F_compressEnd() rather than LZ4F_freeCompressionContext()? The
point of LZ4F_compressEnd() is to make sure all of the output bytes
get written, and it would be stupid to force people to write the
output bytes even when they've decided that they no longer care about
them due to some error.
