At BeagleBoard.org, we use *.img.xz images for all our files that Balena currently supports.

Now that https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2024/03/29/4 is out of the bag, what other options can we switch to..

I'm now looking at both lz4 and zstd as possible replacements..

A feature request for zstd support is covered in #2856
