This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K.
By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K
or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger).
This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs,
should reduce latency.
This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
smaller block sizes).
Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.
Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
they were part of.

Squashfs: Make ZLIB compression support optional
Squashfs: Update documentation for XZ and add squashfs-tools devel tree
Squashfs now supports XZ and LZO compression in addition to ZLIB.
As such it no longer makes sense to always include ZLIB support.
In particular embedded systems may only use LZO or XZ compression, and
the ability to exclude ZLIB support will reduce kernel size.

d_splice_alias(NULL, dentry) is equivalent to d_add(dentry, NULL), NULL
so no need for that if (inode) ... in there (or ERR_PTR(0), for that
matter)

Fsfuzzer generates corrupted filesystems which throw a warn_on in
kmalloc. One of these is due to a corrupted superblock fragments field.
Fix this by checking that the number of bytes to be read (and allocated)
does not extend into the next filesystem structure.
Also add a couple of other sanity checks of the mount-time fragment table
structures.

Reverse order of table reading from mostly first to last in placement
order, to last to first. This is to enable extra superblock sanity

Handle the rare case where a directory metadata block is uncompressed and
corrupted, leading to a kernel oops in directory scanning (memcpy).
Normally corruption is detected at the decompression stage and dealt with
then, however, this will not happen if:
- metadata isn't compressed (users can optionally request no metadata
compression), or
- the compressed metadata block was larger than the original, in which
case the uncompressed version was used, or
- the data was corrupt after decompression
This patch fixes this by adding some sanity checks against known maximum
values.
