We no longer use prefixes in the trie representation, and generate the same structure when serialising the trie instead. Consequently, single-value branches now have the same structure every time. We now also merge shared suffixes, for some additional space savings.
These changes lead to a ~10% reduction in the size of the HTML trie array.
