LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed
at 300 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores CPU. It also features an
extremely fast decoder, with speed in GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM
speed limits on multi-core systems.

Remove archivers/lz4, which has been marked DEPRECATED for 1 month.
archivers/liblz4 is essentially a newer version and installs the liblz4
library, headers, etc.

Mark archivers/lz4 as deprecated and mark it for removal in 1 month.
It is essentially superseded by archivers/liblz4, which also installs
a library.

Add archivers/liblz4. There is already archivers/lz4, which it looks
like might be an old version of this, but it only installs a binary.
This installs binaries and libraries/headers.

A high compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is also provided. It trades CPU
time for compression ratio.
The libraries are BSD licensed, and the binaries are GPLv2.
