* ZIPLIST OVERALL LAYOUT:
* The general layout of the ziplist is as follows:

* The general layout of the ziplist is as follows:
*
* <zlbytes> <zltail> <zllen> <entry> <entry> ... <entry> <zlend>
*
* All fields are stored in little endian.
*
* <uint32_t zlbytes> is an unsigned integer to hold the number of bytes that
* the ziplist occupies. This value needs to be stored to be able to resize the
* entire structure without the need to traverse it first.
*
* <zltail> is the offset to the last entry in the list. This allows a pop
* operation on the far side of the list without the need for full traversal.
* <uint32_t zltail> is the offset to the last entry in the list. This allows

*
* <zllen> is the number of entries.When this value is larger than 2**16-2,
* we need to traverse the entire list to know how many items it holds.
* <uint16_t zllen> is the number of entries. When this value is larger
* than 2^16-2, we need to traverse the entire list to know how many items it
* holds.
*
* <zlend> is a single byte special value, equal to 255, which indicates the
* end of the list.
* <uint8_t zlend> is a single byte special value, equal to 255, which

* ZIPLIST ENTRIES
*
* ZIPLIST ENTRIES:
* Every entry in the ziplist is prefixed by a header that contains two pieces
* of information. First, the length of the previous entry is stored to be
* able to traverse the list from back to front. Second, the encoding with an
