 * Compute the slice size of the next group.
 *
 * The FEC parameters n and k are fixed but the slice size varies per
 * FEC group.  We'd like to choose slices as small as possible to avoid
 * unnecessary FEC calculations but large enough to guarantee that the
 * k data slices suffice to encode the header (if needed) and the data
 * chunk(s).
 *
 * Once we know the payload of the next group, we define the number s
 * of bytes per slice for this group by
 *
 *      s = ceil(payload / k)
 *
 * However, for header streams, computing s is more complicated since no
 * overlapping of header and data slices is possible. Hence we have k >=
 * 2 and s must satisfy
 *
 * (*)  ceil(h / s) + ceil(d / s) <= k
 *
 * where h and d are payload of the header and the data chunk(s)
 * respectively. In general there is no value for s such that (*)
 * becomes an equality, for example if h = 4000, d = 5000 and k = 10.
 *
 * We use the following approach for computing a suitable value for s:
 *
 * Let
 *      k1 := ceil(k * min(h, d) / (h + d)),
 *      k2 := k - k1.
 *
 * Note that k >= 2 implies k1 > 0 and k2 > 0, so
 *
 *      s := max(ceil(min(h, d) / k1), ceil(max(h, d) / k2))
 *
 * is well-defined. Inequality (*) holds for this value of s since k1
 * slices suffice to store min(h, d) while k2 slices suffice to store
 * max(h, d), i.e. the first addent of (*) is bounded by k1 and the
 * second by k2.
 *
 * For the above example we obtain
 *
 *      k1 = ceil(10 * 4000 / 9000) = 5, k2 = 5,
 *      s = max(4000 / 5, 5000 / 5) = 1000,
 *
 * which is optimal since a slice size of 999 bytes would already require
 * 11 slices.
