initramfs-tools: support different compression tools in mkinitramfs
this version uses /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to determine
the compression method, checks kernel and userspace support with
fallback to gzip. Since LZO didnt work for me at all with 2.6.33
I left that out for now.
(closes: #533903)
