/* Dynamic Headers Table, usable for tables up to 4GB long and values of 64kB-1.
* The model can be improved by using offsets relative to the table entry's end
* or to the end of the area, or by moving the descriptors at the end of the
* table and the data at the beginning. This entry is 8 bytes long, which is 1/4
* of the bookkeeping planned by the HPACK spec. Thus it saves 24 bytes per
* header field, meaning that even with a single header, 24 extra bytes can be
* stored (ie one such descriptor). At 29.2 average bytes per header field as
* found in the hpack test case, that's slightly more than 1.5kB of space saved
* from a 4kB block, resulting in contiguous space almost always being
* available.
*
* Principle: the table is stored in a contiguous array containing both the
* descriptors and the contents. Descriptors are stored at the beginning of the
* array while contents are stored starting from the end. Most of the time there
* is enough room left in the table to insert a new header field, thanks to the
* savings on the descriptor size. Thus by inserting headers from the end it's
* possible to maximize the delay before a collision of DTEs and data. In order
* to always insert from the right, we need to keep a reference to the latest
* inserted element and look before it. The last inserted cell's address defines
* the lowest known address still in use, unless the area wraps in which case
* the available space lies between the end of the tail and the beginning of the
* head.
*
* In order to detect collisions between data blocks and DTEs, we also maintain
* an index to the lowest element facing the DTE table, called "front". This one
* is updated each time an element is inserted before it. Once the buffer wraps,
* this element doesn't have to be updated anymore until it is released, in
* which case the buffer doesn't wrap anymore and the front element becomes the
* head again.
*
* Various heuristics are possible concerning the opportunity to wrap the
* entries to limit the risk of collisions with the DTE, but experimentation
* shows that thanks to the important savings made on the descriptors, the
* likeliness of finding a large amount of free space at the end of the area is
* much higher than the risk of colliding, so in the end the most naive
* algorithms work pretty fine. Typical ratios of 1 collision per 2000 requests
* have been observed.
*
* The defragmentation should be rare ; a study on live data shows on average
* 29.2 bytes used per header field. This plus the 32 bytes overhead fix an
* average of 66.9 header fields per 4kB table. This brings a 1606 bytes saving
* using the current storage description, ensuring that oldest headers are
* linearly removed by the sender before fragmentation occurs. This means that
* for all smaller header fields there will not be any requirement to defragment
* the area and most of the time it will even be possible to copy the old values
* directly within the buffer after creating a new entry. On average within the
* available space there will be enough room to store 1606/(29.2+8)=43 extra
* header fields without switching to another place.
*
* The table header fits in the table itself, it only takes 16 bytes, so in the
* worst case (1 single header) it's possible to store 4096 - 16 - 8 = 4072
* data bytes, which is larger than the 4064 the protocol requires (4096 - 32).
