dsynth defaults to xz

Remember how I said dsynth defaults to txz (tarred, XZipped) ? I was apparently wrong and it was using tgz (tarred, gnuzipped). Now it really truly defaults to txz, for space.

I wonder why zstd isn’t being considered? Not only can the space savings be similar to xz, but the decompression rate is much faster.

Test it and see – submit a patch; it’d be easy enough to add.
