liblzma: Clarify lzma_lzma_preset() documentation in lzma12.h.
lzma_lzma_preset() does not guarentee that the lzma_options_lzma are usable in an encoder even if it returns false (success). If liblzma is built with default configurations, then the options will always be usable. However if the match finders hc3, hc4, or bt4 are disabled, then the options may not be usable depending on the preset level requested. The documentation was updated to reflect this complexity, since this behavior was unclear before.
