Michael Shigorin fe58c46ead stage2: tunable squashfs compression
The existing implementation would handle kernel differences
just fine but a bit too automatically: if it sees xz support,
that's what will end up being used (and if there's -Xbcj binary
compression filter available for the target platform, it will
be applied unequivocally either).

It's perfectly suitabe for getting fine-tuned release images
but is also a bit too resource-consuming while developing the
image configuration which has no business with its compression.

The one and only knob is SQUASHFS (see doc/variables.txt);
to give an idea of the differences, here are some numbers
for a mostly-binary (43% as per 99-elf-stats) webkiosk livecd
and a rather less so (18%) flightgear one on a dual quad-core
X5570 node (each mksquashfs run used up all the cores):

SQUASHFS | live-webkiosk.iso | live-flightgear.iso
---------+-------------------+---------------------
fast     | 3:30 / 130M       | 5:11 / 852M
normal * | 3:37 / 100M       | 5:35 / 688M
tight    | 3:50 / 98M        | 6:47 / 683M

Thus if the knob isn't fiddled with, the defaults will allow
for a reasonably fast build of a pretty slim image; if one is
building a release or if a particular image is very sensitive
being close to the media capacity then just add SQUASHFS=tight
and see it a percent or two down on size.

Please note that lzo/gzip-compressed images are also quicker
to uncompress thus further helping with test iterations.

Thanks to led@ and glebfm@ for helpful hints and questions.
