payloads: Add an option to compress secondary payloads
Both GRUB and SeaBIOS can chainload lzma compressed payloads. Therefore it is beneficial to compress secondary payloads like Memtest86+, coreinfo, nvramcui,... for both size reasons and often also speed reasons since the limiting factor is generally the IO of the boot device. Tested with SeaBIOS and memtest86+ master on Thinkpad X220.
