cpio lzo support

Linux supports lzo compression for the initramfs image nowadays, so it would be
nice if buildroot did as well

There should be a variable $(LZOP) and a dependency on host-lzop, just like for lzma.  lzop is not a package that you 
can expect to be available on the host.

  PS What's the policy for reacting to patches posted on bugzilla?

AFAIK, there's none. Now that we have patchwork in place, I guess we
should probably tell users to not post patches to the Bugzilla, but to
the list instead (though that requires users to subscribe to the list).

What do you think?

  I agree.  But how do we tell the users? :-)

We can start by changing the text on the git page to explicitly request
people use the mailing list:
