Provide a command line interface

[4lex11s]

Hello,

Do you plan to also offer a command line interface of your library?

One of a the benefits of seeing "snappy" command line developed, would be the multithreading advantage. For example, when we use a "compressed" dd command, like this:

dd if=/dev/sda status=progress | snappy > image.img.snappy

Without having tried it, @nabijaczleweli proposes an implementation.

Thank you!

(a) you probably want pv /dev/sda | snappy -f > sda.sz (or at least add bs=64k), this will be significantly faster
(b) that's not a proposal, that's just an implementation. it's in debian, you can just use it
