[issue6715] xz compressor support

Ugh, can't edit previous message. Meant to say:

"Once Python gets native support for lzma/xz like it does for zlib and bzip2, Mercurial could switch to using it for bundles and remote transfers."

For platforms with native support in-kernel (e.g. Linux) that could be used instead of the bundled version.

(Since Python is officially switching to Mercurial, arguably this issue even more important.)
