Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "There are some new features available for this cycle. Firstly, EROFS
  LZMA algorithm support, specifically called MicroLZMA, is available as
  an option for embedded devices, LiveCDs and/or as the secondary
  auxiliary compression algorithm besides the primary algorithm in one
  file.

  In order to better support the LZMA fixed-sized output compression,
  especially for 4KiB pcluster size (which has lowest memory pressure
  thus useful for memory-sensitive scenarios), Lasse introduced a new
  LZMA header/container format called MicroLZMA to minimize the original
  LZMA1 header (for example, we don't need to waste 4-byte dictionary
  size and another 8-byte uncompressed size, which can be calculated by
  fs directly, for each pcluster) and enable EROFS fixed-sized output
  compression.

  Note that MicroLZMA can also be later used by other things in addition
  to EROFS too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is
  important and it can be only compiled by enabling XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA.
  MicroLZMA has been supported by the latest upstream XZ embedded [1] &
  XZ utils [2], apply the latest related XZ embedded upstream patches by
  the XZ author Lasse here.

  Secondly, multiple device is also supported in this cycle, which is
  designed for multi-layer container images. By working together with
  inter-layer data deduplication and compression, we can achieve the
  next high-performance container image solution. Our team will announce
  the new Nydus container image service [3] implementation with new RAFS
  v6 (EROFS-compatible) format in Open Source Summit 2021 China [4]
  soon.

  Besides, the secondary compression head support and readmore
  decompression strategy are also included in this cycle. There are also
  some minor bugfixes and cleanups, as always.

  Summary:

   - support multiple devices for multi-layer container images;

   - support the secondary compression head;

   - support readmore decompression strategy;

   - support new LZMA algorithm (specifically called MicroLZMA);

   - some bugfixes & cleanups"
