Allow user-defined compression (lz, xz, bzip2, etc.)

Pulling in more compression libraries has the disadvantage of introducing more dependencies, and since aide is usually statically linked, causes much grief with security updates of those compression libs.

Except that there's no reason to link against those compression libraries. Compression algorithms are well-published and the programs are available statically linked. Just pipe the output through a system call to the program of the user's choice like tar -I does, and let the user specify a compression program; aide -Z xz for example. The user can easily arrange a known-good copy of their favourite compression program for verification purposes and the current zlib built-in can remain untouched.
