Subject: [RFC PATCH] treewide: remove bzip2 compression support

Upon further research, I found that bzip2 removal was already 
implemented as part of zstd addition, but were apparently abandoned in 
an effort to get zstd in. I will check those patches and try sending 
those instead. Thanks to all reviewers for comments on this patch.
