1. SUSE config: use Btrfs LZO compression for ResourceDisk …

   Btrfs provides support for transparent compression, which can be
   requested at mount time via the compress=type[:level] mount option.
   
   As demonstrated in [1], transparent LZO compression provides a good
   trade-off between compression ratio and performance, while also being
   supported by legacy SUSE kernels. zstd could be considered for
   modern SLE15-SP1+ / openSUSE Leap 15.1+ kernels.
   
   Amongst other benefits, moving from ext4 to Btrfs allows for ephemeral
   ResourceDisk data to be periodically and incrementally backed-up to
   regular Page Blob backed disks using btrfs send/recv.
