Xin LI 2f9cd13d6c Revert "MFV: xz 5.6.0"
This commit reverts 8db56defa7,
rolling back the vendor import of xz 5.6.0 and restoring the
package to version 5.4.5.

The revert was not directly due to the attack (CVE-2024-3094):
our import process have removed the test cases and build scripts
that would have enabled the attack. However, reverting would
help to reduce potential confusion and false positives from
security scanners that assess risk based solely on version
numbers.

Another commit will follow to restore binary compatibility with
the liblzma 5.6.0 library by making the previously private
symbol (lzma_mt_block_size) public.

Authors of XZ Utils
===================
XZ Utils is developed and maintained by Lasse Collin
<lasse.collin@tukaani.org> and Jia Tan <jiat0218@gmail.com>.
Major parts of liblzma are based on code written by Igor Pavlov,
specifically the LZMA SDK <https://7-zip.org/sdk.html>. Without
this code, XZ Utils wouldn't exist.
The SHA-256 implementation in liblzma is based on the code found from
7-Zip <https://7-zip.org/>, which has a modified version of the SHA-256
code found from Crypto++ <https://www.cryptopp.com/>. The SHA-256 code
in Crypto++ was written by Kevin Springle and Wei Dai.
Some scripts have been adapted from gzip. The original versions
were written by Jean-loup Gailly, Charles Levert, and Paul Eggert.
Andrew Dudman helped adapting the scripts and their man pages for
XZ Utils.
The initial version of the threaded .xz decompressor was written
by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
The initial version of the .lz (lzip) decoder was written
by Michał Górny.
CLMUL-accelerated CRC code was contributed by Ilya Kurdyukov.
