kconfig: update compression algorithm info

Browse Source 
There have been new compression algorithms added without updating nearby
relevant descriptive text that refers to (a) the number of compression
algorithms and (b) the most recent one.  Fix these inconsistencies.

Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel

Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.

Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
(both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
