#16424: Support parsing of .xz compressed tarballs

-------------------------+-------------------------
We switched from providing .tar.bz2 files on CollecTor to .tar.xz around
July or August 2014, but we never updated metrics-lib to parse those.
We should try out how slow parsing .xz compressed tarballs is compared to
uncompressed tarballs. Maybe the better plan is to put out a big warning
and suggest that users decompress themselves using the `unxz` tool.
When we add support for this, let's try not to add any new dependencies to
metrics-lib.
