Squashfs: update Kconfig and documentation for LZO

Browse Source 
Update compression types supported and add some help text for
the LZO Kconfig option.

Also add missing "default n" line and make some trivial whitespace
cleanups too.

=======================
Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
It uses zlib compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
It uses zlib/lzo compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
data overhead. Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum
of 1Mbytes (default block size 128K).

Saying Y here includes support for reading Squashfs file systems
compressed with LZO compresssion. LZO compression is mainly
aimed at embedded systems with slower CPUs where the overheads
of zlib are too high.
LZO is not the standard compression used in Squashfs and so most
file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
