patman: Add functions to compress and decompress data

Add utility functions to compress and decompress using lz4 and lzma
algorithms. In the latter case these use the legacy lzma support favoured
by coreboot's CBFS.

No tests are provided as these functions will be tested by the CBFS
tests in a separate patch.
