Add slow compression mode, but with the best compression ratio available

Allows a nice size improvement over "better" mode, but at a significant CPU penalty.

Typical speed is currently around 25MB/s

Some speed examples:

So far fairly naiive implementation, but offers decent improvements.

Longer term it should probably have chaining replace some of the alternative scans. Some contribute very little.
