[PATCH 1/3] erofs-utils: mkfs: update compressor status

- Promote DEFLATE compressors from EXPERIMENTAL status;
- Recommend using `-E48bit` with Zstandard compression since it doesn't
support native fixed-size output compression (this feature has been
requested for many years), thus the traditional unaligned compression
has to be used. Note that further build-time optimizations together
with `-E48bit,fragments` for Zstandard are still pending; it will be
addressed in the next versions.
