Fix rare bug where the takeWhileZero method would fail to repopulate the underlying buffer. This caused intermittent de-compression errors if takeWhileZero happened at a 64 bit boundary while the underlying buffer was empty.
The change also alters how sequence-lengths are encoded, to more consistently use the getGamma method instead of adding special significance to a zero first byte.
Finally, assertions are added checking the invariants of the gamma and delta coding logic as well as UrlIdCodec to earlier detect issues.
It was incorrectly assumed that a "next" value could not be zero or negative, as this is not representable via the Gamam code. This is incorrect in this case, as we're able to provide a negative offset. Changing to using Integer.MIN_VALUE as indicator that a value is absent instead, as this will never be used.
