ReiserFS is an old file system which has not been actively maintained in
the Linux kernel for a long time. It is potentially going to be removed
soon which is why we shouldn't encourage people to create new
installations with ReiserFS any more.
This patch removes support for ReiserFS from the installer.
We should keep it enabled in the kernel for as long as it is available,
but we will have to encourage users potentially to re-install on a
different file system.
Since ReiserFS isn't very popular any more, I don't think that there
will be many users left.

This patch uses the new Zstandard algorithm to compress the file system
image on the ISO image. This comes with these advantages:
* Compression is about twice as fast than XZ with the parameters we have
selected here
* We use a lot less memory during compression and can therefore utilise
all processor cores of the build machines
* Decompression (when installing IPFire and when creating the
flash-image) is substantically faster
The downside is that the generated ISO image is slighty larger (~10MiB)
which I am okay with as a trade-off for the points mentioned above.
