Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] initramfs: Select builtin initram compression
 algorithm on KConfig instead of Makefile

This patch moves the current builtin initram compression algorithm selection
from the Makefile into the INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION variable. This makes deciding
algorithm precedence easier and would allow for overrides if new algorithms
want to be tested.

I'm sorry for the noise. I'm resending this as a new version because
Thunderbird likes to word wrap things it shouldn't be word wrapping.
