efi/zboot: Limit compression options to GZIP and ZSTD

For historical reasons, the legacy decompressor code on various
architectures supports 7 different compression types for the compressed
kernel image.

EFI zboot is not a compression library museum, and so the options can be
limited to what is likely to be useful in practice:

- GZIP is tried and tested, and is still one of the fastest at
  decompression time, although the compression ratio is not very high;
  moreover, Fedora is already shipping EFI zboot kernels for arm64 that
  use GZIP, and QEMU implements direct support for it when booting a
  kernel without firmware loaded;

- ZSTD has a very high compression ratio (although not the highest), and
  is almost as fast as GZIP at decompression time.

Reducing the number of options makes it less of a hassle for other
consumers of the EFI zboot format (such as QEMU today, and kexec in the
future) to support it transparently without having to carry 7 different
decompression libraries.
