liblzma: Use symbol versioning.
Symbol versioning is enabled by default on GNU/Linux, other GNU-based systems, and FreeBSD. I'm not sure how stable this is, so it may need backward-incompatible changes before the next release. The idea is that alpha and beta symbols are considered unstable and require recompiling the applications that use those symbols. Once a symbol is stable, it may get extended with new features in ways that don't break compatibility with older ABI & API. The mydist target runs validate_map.sh which should catch some probable problems in liblzma.map. Otherwise I would forget to update the map file for new releases.
