qemu: xz save image compression is faster
</summary>
<description>
When using the xz format to compressed virtual
machine saved state images, the "-3" compression
level preset is now used. This results in slightly
larger files, but with a massively reduced time
to compress. The xz format offers the best compression
level for saved state images, albeit still with the
slowest running time. For the fastest possible
running time, at cost of the larest compressed size,
lzop should be used.
