/**
* \brief Finds out the minimal reasonable chunk size for a filter chain
*
* This function helps determining the Uncompressed Sizes of the Blocks when
* doing multi-threaded encoding.
*
* When compressing a large file on a system having multiple CPUs or CPU
* cores, the file can be splitted in smaller chunks, that are compressed
* independently into separate Blocks in the same .lzma Stream.
*
* \return Minimum reasonable Uncompressed Size of a Block. The
* recommended minimum Uncompressed Size is between this value
* and the value times two.
Zero if the Uncompressed Sizes of Blocks don't matter
