Current blake3_u4 implementation has an issue which generates incorrect output hash for some input message.
blake3_u4 operates over nibbles and looks up modulo and quotient values in a precompute table. The size of table depends upon the range of input index.
For example if you want to sum three number 0xfe + 0xff + 0xff, the impl proceeds in following steps:
The fix adds an extra element on the precompute table making it of size 48. Since blake3_u4 only adds 3 elements at max, this new precompute table length suffices for the entire range of input.
A test has been added which fails if the fix is not present.
