Pass the dictionary size used to compress datablocks. Using a
dictionary size less than the block size saves memory overhead, in many
cases without adversely affecting compression ratio.

Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in
the filesystem. These options can be used by the relevant decompressor
at initialisation time to over-ride defaults.
The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by
the COMP_OPT filesystem flag. If present the data is read from the
filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function. The decompressor
init function signature has been extended to take this data.
Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz
decompressor wrappers.

Fix potential use of uninitialised variable caused by recent
decompressor code optimisations.
In zlib_uncompress (zlib_wrapper.c) we have
int zlib_err, zlib_init = 0;
...
do {
...
if (avail == 0) {
offset = 0;
put_bh(bh[k++]);
continue;
}
...
zlib_err = zlib_inflate(stream, Z_SYNC_FLUSH);
...
} while (zlib_err == Z_OK);
If continue is executed (avail == 0) then the while condition will be
evaluated testing zlib_err, which is uninitialised first time around the
loop.
Fix this by getting rid of the 'if (avail == 0)' condition test, this
edge condition should not be being handled in the decompressor code, and
instead handle it generically in the caller code.
Similarly for xz_wrapper.c.
Incidentally, on most architectures (bar Mips and Parisc), no
uninitialised variable warning is generated by gcc, this is because the
while condition test on continue is optimised out and not performed
(when executing continue zlib_err has not been changed since entering
the loop, and logically if the while condition was true previously, then
it's still true).

Add support for reading file systems compressed with the
XZ compression algorithm.
This patch adds the XZ decompressor wrapper code.
