Correct the parenthetical description of the dictionary.
Line 38:
* 11 – Copy with length stored as 6 bits of tag byte and offset stored as four-byte little-endian integer after the tag byte;
 
The copy refers to the dictionary (or just the -decompressed data). The offset is the shift from the current position back to the already decompressed stream. The length is the number of bytes to copy from the dictionary. The size of the dictionary was limited by the 1.0 Snappy compressor to 32768 bytes, and updated to 65536 in version 1.1.
