Patch to remove LZO support

Please remove LZO support because of licensing issues (GPL of LZO is broken if linked against libarchive).

LZO support via liblzo2 will be completely removed in the next libarchive minor release.

Comment 2 Greg Lewis freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-11-23 18:04:08 UTC 
The use of LZO is already an option.  People can just turn it off if they don't want to use it.  The current version of libarchive still supports it, so I don't intend to make this change.
