init_vlc() should work fine with upto 32bit long codewords, for larger ones
it should be a matter of int->uint64_t but so far no codec needed >32

get_vlc2() is currently limited to a max of table depth of 3, so that puts
a bits_per_table*3 limit on the codeword size, bits_per_table is 9 commonly
this also hasnt been an issue, increasing this limit is a matter of adding 5
lines or so to GET_VLC
