The decompression code parses a huffman tree and counts the number of
symbols for a given bit length. In rare cases, there may be >= 256
symbols with a given bit length, causing the unsigned char to overflow.
This causes a decompression failure later when the code tries and fails
to find the bit length for a given symbol.
Since the maximum number of symbols is 258, use unsigned short instead.
Fixes: bc22c17e12c1 ("bzip2/lzma: library support for gzip, bzip2 and lzma decompression")
