 * \brief       Variable-length integer handling
 *
 * In the .xz format, most integers are encoded in a variable-length
 * representation, which is sometimes called little endian base-128 encoding.
 * This saves space when smaller values are more likely than bigger values.
 *
 * The encoding scheme encodes seven bits to every byte, using minimum
 * number of bytes required to represent the given value. Encodings that use
 * non-minimum number of bytes are invalid, thus every integer has exactly
 * one encoded representation. The maximum number of bits in a VLI is 63,
 * thus the vli argument must be at maximum of UINT64_MAX / 2. You should
 * use LZMA_VLI_MAX for clarity.

/**
 * \brief       Encode a variable-length integer
 *
 * This function has two modes: single-call and multi-call. Single-call mode
 * encodes the whole integer at once; it is an error if the output buffer is
 * too small. Multi-call mode saves the position in *vli_pos, and thus it is
 * possible to continue encoding if the buffer becomes full before the whole
 * integer has been encoded.
 *
 * \param       vli       Integer to be encoded
 * \param       vli_pos   How many VLI-encoded bytes have already been written
 *                        out. When starting to encode a new integer, *vli_pos
 *                        must be set to zero. To use single-call encoding,
 *                        set vli_pos to NULL.
 * \param       out       Beginning of the output buffer
 * \param       out_pos   The next byte will be written to out[*out_pos].
 * \param       out_size  Size of the out buffer; the first byte into
 *                        which no data is written to is out[out_size].
 *
 * \return      Slightly different return values are used in multi-call and
 *              single-call modes.
 *
 *              Single-call (vli_pos == NULL):
 *              - LZMA_OK: Integer successfully encoded.
 *              - LZMA_PROG_ERROR: Arguments are not sane. This can be due
 *                to too little output space; single-call mode doesn't use
 *                LZMA_BUF_ERROR, since the application should have checked
 *                the encoded size with lzma_vli_size().
 *
 *              Multi-call (vli_pos != NULL):
 *              - LZMA_OK: So far all OK, but the integer is not
 *                completely written out yet.
