libxml2 has limited support for reading and writing compressed data
with the help of zlib and liblzma which used to be enabled by default.
This only works for files read from the file system and never worked
with memory buffers. My guess is that this feature is virtually unused.

In light of the recently discovered xz backdoor, it's a good time to
disable these features by default to reduce attack surface and prepare
for eventual removal.

If --with-legacy is passed to the Autotools build, compression will
be enabled by default as before.
