mksquashsfs just got reproducible #4

Dear Michal, how does this: https://github.com/plougher/squashfs-tools/commit/e0d74d07bb350e24efd3100d3798f4f6d893a3d9 and the zstd support included in a "soon" to be released release improve the situation? Because I'm scratching my head how to provide incremental updates to our https://github.com/fsfw-dresden/usb-live-linux in the future, instead of just replacing the whole image...

Yep, that sounds really cool! That said, I don't think squashdelta needs any changes for that, as it doesn't invoke mksquashfs. If you build reproducible images, it's just going to be happy about them.

That said, if that option affects compressors somehow, then it would be something for squashdelta to use.
