`lzma` and `xz` should be pretty much identical, it was a toss-up (I
have a preference for `lzip` in that space, but it's not available ;-).

`zstd` should compress significantly less (but is significantly faster
both to compress and to uncompress).  I focused on disk space usage
(but I did notice that uncompression takes a non-negligible amount of
time on my old Thinkpad X30 when the initrd image is large (e.g. with
`modules=most`)).

Maybe my info is out of date then.
