Use crc32 for xz, unbreaking "stupid simple" mode
Commit 65a7bbe switched the rootfs compression method, in both nested
and "stupid simple" modes, from gzip to xz.
However, xz's integrity check type defaults to crc64, but Linux (as of
v6.1) is unable to unpack it, as it only supports none and crc32. This
does not matter in the default, nested mode where the inner rootfs is
unpacked by busybox, and the outer one (unpacked by Linux) is compressed
with gzip. It does matter for the non-default stupid simple mode though,
which simply does not work right now.
Pass --check=crc32 to xz when packing the initramfs. As this should have
a minimal impact and be inconsequential to the nested builds, do so
unconditionally.

Ship /bin/unxz in the outer initramfs
Commit 65a7bbe switched from gzip to xz for the nested initramfs. This
included a change in the embedded shell script to call "unxz" to unpack
rootfs.cxz. However, no unxz is to be found in $PATH, as an /bin/unxz
(busybox symlink) was not shipped, unlike /bin/gunzip that was already
there.
As far as I understand it, this means that all builds have been broken
since that commit. I'm unsure how this has escaped attention thus far.
