Issue #1288 - Part 2: Add a partial LZ4 decompression routine.

This function never writes beyond `aDest` + `aMaxOutputSize`, and is
therefore protexted against malicious datapackets.
It also ignores unconsumed input upon reaching `aMaxOutputSize` and can
therefore be used for parial decompression of LZ4 input up to a desired
resulting size of decompressed data.
