lib/lzo: implement run-length encoding
When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes.
This adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes
them using run-length encoding.
This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For
high-entropy data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal.
Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases.
This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible
(i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo
cannot decompress new bitstreams).
