erofs: drop all vle annotations for runtime names
VLE was an old informal name of fixed-sized output
compression which came from published ATC'19 paper [1].
Drop those old annotations since erofs can handle
all encoded clusters in block-aligned basis, which
is wider than fixed-sized output compression after
larger clustersize feature is fully implemented.
Unaligned encoding won't be considered in EROFS
since it's not friendly to inplace I/O and perhaps
decompression inplace.
a) Fixed-sized output compression with 16KB pcluster:
___________________________________
|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|
|___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___| physical blocks
b) Block-aligned fixed-sized input compression with
16KB pcluster:
___________________________________
|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxx00000|
|___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___| physical blocks
c) Block-unaligned fixed-sized input compression with
16KB compression unit:
____________________________________________
|..xxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|x.......|
|___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___|___ 4___| physical blocks
Refine better names for those as well.
