Hi folks,

Thanks to Lasse, liblzma finally has a preliminary usable fixed-sized
output compression support. I've made a quick integration and it seems
work. The preliminary C/R result of this is:
 459382784  enwik9_4k.squashfs.xz.img
 401649664  enwik9_8k.squashfs.xz.img
 371617792  enwik9_4k.lzma.erofs.img
 360972288  enwik9_16k.squashfs.xz.img

* Also -zlzma,1,
 389115904  enwik9_4k.lzma.erofs.img

So it's worthwhile to take the further step and get an entire solution.

TODOs:
 - make a formal configure.ac / Makefile.am rather than such hack;
 - save DICT_SIZE to super block rather than using a fixed value;
 - support threaded compression to boost up build time (including
   segment compression);
 - look on sorting out kernel side support.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
