library: Enable transparent compression of btrfs file systems
- Reduces write amplification on flash based storage.
- Improve read/write performance on slow disks.
- Reduce the disk usage of files.
- Uses more CPU and reduces overall throughput but this is not noticeable in
most common scenarios.
- It is possible to compress the files while the image is being prepared. This
leads to significantly less size occupied by files (~1.7GiB uncompressed vs.
~0.8GiB compressed) in the final system. However, the size of the final xz image
has doubled to more than 1GiB. This happens even when highest compression
level (zstd:15) is used in btrfs/zstd. Due to concern for increased download
image size, this change is not pursued at the moment.
Tests:
- Build amd64, arm64 and raspberry3b-plus image with the patch. Build is
successful.
- In the built images, /etc/fstab has compress=zstd:1 only for btrfs partitions.
- Run amd64 image. It boots without issues.
- Install btrfs-compsize package inside the running image. Reinstall a package
like freedombox-doc-en. Notice that running `compsize /usr/share/freedombox` now
shows that some of the files are now compressed.

internal, library: Use debootstrap instead of qemu-debootstrap
Closes: #197.
- With binfmt "fix binary" mode, it is no longer needed to copy qemu-*-static
binaries in the chroot environment for debootstrap to work.
- Qemu's Debian package has deprecated the use of qemu-debootstrap and
encourages using debootstrap directly.
- Currently, qemu-debootstrap is just an empty wrapper over debootstrap[1].
- See Debian bugs: #901197, #991532.

Tests:
- Ran unit tests.
- Successfully built the following targets: arm64, armhf, amd64, a20-olinuxino-lime2.
- Ensure that qemu-*-static files are not present in /usr/bin/ of the build
image: arm64, armhf.
