Reimplement the bitstream writer as a C module so it runs fast again.
Current code produces single-stream files which should be compatible with mwdumper, importDump, and other things reading via libbzip2 or a variant.
However it currently does not use the proper input block size so compressed output is not bit-identical. Some inputs could also overrun the block size, leading to an incorrect CRC reported on the stream which would cause a failure at the very end of the file.

Proof of concept for recombining blocks into a single bitstream which
should be more compatible. The bit-shifting for the output is insanely
slow as it's shifted a byte at a time in Python, which is not practical,
but it appears to create workable output for my test file.

Add some notes on bzip2 stream format; quick hacky check for bit-shifted stream trailer check.
