/**
   The function PruneSpecial is like the standard OpenFst function "prune",
   except it does not expand the entire "ifst"- this is useful for cases where
   ifst is an on-demand FST such as a ComposeFst and we don't want to visit
   it all.  It supports pruning either to a specified beam (if beam is
   not One()), or to a specified max_states (if max_states is > 0).  One of the
   two must be specified.

   Requirements:
     - Costs must be non-negative (equivalently, weights must not be greater than One()).
     - There must be a Compare(a, b) function that compares two weights and returns (-1,0,1)
       if (a<b, a=b, a>b).  We define this in Kaldi, for TropicalWeight, LogWeight (I think),
       and LatticeWeight... also CompactLatticeWeight, but we doubt that will be used here;
       better to use PruneCompactLattice().
