liblzma: Threaded decoder: Improve LZMA_FAIL_FAST when LZMA_FINISH is used.
It will now return LZMA_DATA_ERROR (not LZMA_OK or LZMA_BUF_ERROR)
if LZMA_FINISH is used and there isn't enough input to finish
decoding the Block Header or the Block. The use of LZMA_DATA_ERROR
is simpler and the less risky than LZMA_BUF_ERROR but this might
be changed before 5.4.0.
