Instead of using per-file ZSTD compression, compress firmware (and newly also
kernel modules) using LZMA within EROFS image. LZMA was picked because ZSTD
support in EROFS is still experimental and due to some limitations in the
implementation, the compression takes significantly more time.

This change gives us more control over compression of the files and with the
proposed settings, saves a bit of the space (~10 MiB) in the resulting image.
In theory, even higher savings could be achieved through compressing other
runtime binaries, but this would need to be thoroughly tested whether it
doesn't have any detrimental effects. For firmware and modules, the overhead
should be minimal, as they are usually touched only once per boot and are
rather small before decompression.
