Description
`CCtx::try_clone` (`experimental` feature, deprecated) copies tables sized
from the context's applied parameters. Starting a multithreaded frame
(`zstdmt` feature) replaces those parameters with the workers' without
resizing the context's own tables, so after an abandoned single-threaded
frame, the copy wrote up to 512 KiB past a heap allocation, or read past
one. This became reachable with the bundled zstd 1.5.6.
The flaw was corrected by refusing `try_clone` (and the unsafe
`compress_block`) once `NbWorkers` was set on the context.
