erofs: update compression algorithm status
The following changes are proposed in the upcoming Linux 7.0: - Enable LZMA support by default, as it's already in use by Fedora 42/43 and some Android vendors for minimal filesystem sizes; - Promote DEFLATE and Zstandard out of EXPERIMENTAL status, given that they have been landed and well-tested for over a year and are already ready for general use.

Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA. It
gives better compression ratios than the default LZ4 format, at the
expense of more CPU overhead.
