/*
G.3 THE RLE ALGORITHM
The RLE algorithm described in this section is used to compress Byte Segments into RLE Segments.
There is a one-to-one correspondence between Byte Segments and RLE Segments. Each RLE segment
must be an even number of bytes or padded at its end with zero to make it even.
G.3.1 The RLE encoder
A sequence of identical bytes (Replicate Run) is encoded as a two-byte code:
< -count + 1 > <byte value>, where
count = the number of bytes in the run, and
2 <= count <= 128
and a non-repetitive sequence of bytes (Literal Run) is encoded as:
< count - 1 > <Iiteral sequence of bytes>, where
count = number of bytes in the sequence, and
1 <= count <= 128.
The value of -128 may not be used to prefix a byte value.
Note: It is common to encode a 2-byte repeat run as a Replicate Run except when preceded and followed by
a Literal Run, in which case it's best to merge the three runs into a Literal Run.
Three-byte repeats shall be encoded as Replicate Runs. Each row of the image shall be encoded
separately and not cross a row boundary.
