Older LZ4 library versions used a version number > 100 and not the current x.y.z versioning scheme. This results in version 122 being numberically higher than the check we have liblz4 > 1.7.1. And since that old version (122) does not have the LZ4_compress_default(), the building explodes later on.
This patch enhances the version check to also ensure the version number is lower than 100. In addition the function checking we had was not triggered if system library was found via pkg-config, so this have now been reworked to really check if we have at least two of the most important LZ4 functions - as long as a system library have been found or been accepted via the LZ4_{CFLAGS,LIBS} variables. There are more ways to check for functions in autoconf. I opted for AC_CHECK_LIB() instead of AC_CHECK_FUNC{,S}() as the latter ones does not test if a function exists in a specific library. This have the downside of needing to tests instead of AC_CHECK_FUNCS() which could test for more functions in one go. We also do not overwrite the LZ4_LIBS variable on success, as that could change already set library paths (-L) Finally, a stupid typo got fixed as well.
