Use pxz for compression with full CPU usage

Merged Sunil Mohan Adapa requested to merge SunilMohanAdapa:pxz into master

Created by: SunilMohanAdapa

pxz spawns multiple threads to compress. By default the number of threads are the same as number of CPU cores. The compression factor usually suffers but only by a few megabytes.

With this change x86 build takes just 10 minutes on SSD + 8 cores.
