Squashfs: update Kconfig and documentation for LZO

Update compression types supported and add some help text for
the LZO Kconfig option.

Also add missing "default n" line and make some trivial whitespace
cleanups too.

Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise

aimed at embedded systems with slower CPUs where the overheads

LZO is not the standard compression used in Squashfs and so most
file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
