entropy: disable aec trailing 0xff-byte pruning

In order to implement the reversed bypass stream, it is necessary that the arithmetic encoder outputs an independently decodable stream that does not rely upon bounded read operations that insert 0xff bytes when the entire aec sub-stream input is consumed (since there will be no indication of the sub-stream length).
