[Buildroot] [git commit] fs/squashfs: Add option to compress with extreme options

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=d9c144d5f5ba270af9510ffd0c74a37c06b9aab9
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

mksquashfs allows to tweak many compressions parameters. Currently they
can't be changed from kmenu. Leaving out potential space savings.

This adds the option to enable a set of predetermined compression
options. This option is enabled by default for lz4 since lz4 currently
implicitly added the extreme to it in the makefile. So this aids in
keeping backward compatibility.

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
  - fix check-package
  - change the default code-style, add the legacy comment
  - always add the qstriped string, as it's empty when not used
