journal: add LZ4 as optional compressor

Add liblz4 as an optional dependency when requested with --enable-lz4,
and use it in preference to liblzma for journal blob and coredump
compression. To retain backwards compatibility, XZ is used to
decompress old blobs.

Things will function correctly only with lz4-119.

Based on the benchmarks found on the web, lz4 seems to be the best
choice for "quick" compressors atm.

For pkg-config status, see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/issues/detail?id=135.
