[RFC PATCH] xen: make LZO dependency optional

[RFC PATCH] xen: make LZO dependency optional

[Ross Burton]

xen-tools has an optional dependency on LZO.  As this is a unmaintained
compression format with better alternatives (such as Zstd), disable it
by default.

I'm trying to purge LZO from as much as possible, as it is unmaintained
and Zstd is a better all-rounder.  I hope to move lzo from oe-core to
meta-oe, so if you wish to keep LZO support enabled by default it will
continue to work.

merged.

If someone really needed this enabled by default, they can
follow up and explain (or carry a bbappend with the packageconfig).
