From a suggestion in user forum, I have changed the minimum volume size from 128
sectors to 64 sectors. This is the patch-1 for ff.c without patch.
When create a volume on the very small drive with f_mkfs function, it is recommended to
specify FM_SFD flag and set a proper value to n_root.

The Unicode conversion module, ffunicode.c, linked at LFN configuration occupies
a large amount of memory when it is configured for DBCS.
From a suggestion in user forum, I have found that there is much room for improvement
of the compression ratio of 6 out of 8 conversion tables. This is the result in
table size by modification of compression algorithm.

Japanese (932)               59k  ==>   47k (-12k)
Simplified Chinese (936)    174k  ==>   97k (-77k)
Korean (949)                136k  ==>  103k (-33k)
Traditional Chinese (950)   108k  ==>   78k (-30k)
All CP (0)                  482k  ==>  329k (-153k)

This is the new code for replacement.
Note that there is no improvement for SBCS configurations.
