flashsvenc: replace bitstream description by a link to the specification

An official specification now exists and it is both more detailed and
easier to understand than the incomplete notes available here.

/* Bitstream description
* The picture is divided into blocks that are zlib-compressed.
*
* The decoder is fed complete frames, the frameheader contains:
* 4 bits of block width
* 12 bits of frame width
* 4 bits of block height
* 12 bits of frame height
*
* Directly after the header are the compressed blocks. The blocks
* have their compressed size represented with 16 bits in the beginning.
* If the size = 0 then the block is unchanged from the previous frame.
* All blocks are decompressed until the buffer is consumed.
*
/*
* Encoding ideas: A basic encoder would just use a fixed block size.
* Block sizes can be multiples of 16, from 16 to 256. The blocks don't
* have to be quadratic. A brute force search with a set of different
