Lasse Collin 7472ff8ada xz: adjust arch-specific options for better kernel compression
Use LZMA2 options that match the arch-specific alignment of instructions. 
This change reduces compressed kernel size 0-2 % depending on the arch. 
On 1-byte-aligned x86 it makes no difference and on 4-byte-aligned archs
it helps the most.

Use the ARM-Thumb filter for ARM-Thumb2 kernels.  This reduces compressed
kernel size about 5 %.[1] Previously such kernels were compressed using
the ARM filter which didn't do anything useful with ARM-Thumb2 code.

Add BCJ filter support for ARM64 and RISC-V.  Compared to unfiltered XZ or
plain LZMA, the compressed kernel size is reduced about 5 % on ARM64 and 7
% on RISC-V.  A new enough version of the xz tool is required: 5.4.0 for
ARM64 and 5.6.0 for RISC-V.  With an old xz version, a message is printed
to standard error and the kernel is compressed without the filter.

Update lib/decompress_unxz.c to match the changes to xz_wrap.sh.

Update the CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ help text in init/Kconfig:
  - Add the RISC-V and ARM64 filters.
  - Clarify that the PowerPC filter is for big endian only.
  - Omit IA-64.
