Subject: [PATCH 2/2] zstd: use U16 data type for rankPos

rankPos structure variables value can not be more than 512.
So it can easily be declared as U16 rather than U32.

It will reduce stack usage of HUF_sort from 256 bytes to 128 bytes

original:
e92ddbf0        push    {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, fp, ip, lr, pc}
e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4
e24ddc01        sub     sp, sp, #256    ; 0x100

changed:
e92ddbf0        push    {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, fp, ip, lr, pc}
e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4
e24dd080        sub     sp, sp, #128    ; 0x80
