xz: Use threaded mode by defaut (as if --threads=0 was used).
This hopefully does more good than bad:
+ It's faster by default.
+ Only the threaded compressor creates files that
can be decompressed in threaded mode.
- Compression ratio is worse, usually not too much though.
When it matters, -T1 must be used.
- Memory usage increases.
- Scripts that assume single-threaded mode but don't use -T1 will
possibly use too much resources, for example, if they run
multiple xz processes in parallel to compress multiple files.
- Output from single-threaded and multi-threaded compressors
differ but such changes could happen for other reasons too
(they just haven't happened since 5.0.0).
