Creates huffman tree codes from list of code lengths (in build).
find then finds symbol for code bits. Code can be any length between 1 and
15 bits. When calling find we don't know how many bits will be used to
find symbol. When symbol is returned it has code_bits field which defines
how much we should advance in bit stream.
Lookup table is used to map 15 bit int to symbol. Same symbol is written many times in this table; 32K places for 286 (at most) symbols. Small lookup table is optimization for faster search. It is variation of the algorithm explained in zlib with difference that we here use statically allocated arrays.
