Add DEFLATE compression as the 3rd supported algorithm. DEFLATE is a popular generic-purpose compression algorithm for quite long time (many advanced formats like gzip, zlib, zip, png are all based on that) as Apple documentation written "If you require interoperability with non-Apple devices, use COMPRESSION_ZLIB. [1]". Due to its popularity, there are several hardware on-market DEFLATE accelerators, such as (s390) DFLTCC, (Intel) IAA/QAT, (HiSilicon) ZIP accelerator, etc. In addition, there are also several high-performence IP cores and even open-source FPGA approches available for DEFLATE. Therefore, it's useful to support DEFLATE compression in order to find a way to utilize these accelerators for asynchronous I/Os and get benefits from these later. Besides, it's a good choice to trade off between compression ratios and performance compared to LZ4 and LZMA. The DEFLATE core format is simple as well as easy to understand, therefore the code size of its decompressor is small even for the bootloader use cases. The runtime memory consumption is quite limited too (e.g. 32K + ~7K for each zlib stream). As usual, EROFS ourperforms similar approaches too. Alternatively, DEFLATE could still be used for some specific files since EROFS supports multiple compression algorithms in one image.
