[issue5411] add xz compression support to distutils

hmm, I'm unsure about how this should be done..


I guess such a test would belong in Lib/distutils/test_dist.py, but I'm
uncertain about how it should be done, ie. should it be a test for doing
'bdist', 'bdist_rpm' and 'sdist' for each of the formats supported? I
cannot seem to find any tests for the currently supported formats and
such tests would introduce dependencies on the tools used to compress
with these formats..
