[Cin] flac 1.4.0

[Phyllis Smith]

OK, now that both Andrea and Andrew think we should upgrade to flac 1.4.0,
I will check it into GIT in the next couple of days.  It did build on both
Ubuntu 16 and Debian 11.0 (32-bit).  The Debian initially failed on
rendering but I must have done something wrong because I could not
reproduce it.

More tests show results all over the place and some mirror what Andrea was
seeing where compression level 5 is better than level 0.  Times vary just
doing the exact same tests again on the same computer/operating system but
size consistent.  Anyway listing them here just for showing.
