initramfs: remove "compression mode" choice
Commit 9ba4bcb64589 ("initramfs: read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs
compression") removed the users of the various INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_*
Kconfig symbols. So since v3.13 the entire "Built-in initramfs
compression mode" choice is a set of knobs connected to nothing. The
entire choice can safely be removed.
