xz: Add comments about stdin and src_st.st_size.
"xz -v < regular_file > out.xz" doesn't display the percentage
and estimated remaining time because it doesn't even try to
check the input file size when input is read from stdin.
This could be improved but for now there's just a comment
to remind about it.
