Compress manual doesn't list lz4-v2

Description
Please fix the entry in the manual and explain the difference and the preferred setting. Right know the sample scrips are using lz4-v2 and the manual only mentions lz4.
Related to that... why do you support both? the difference is pretty much negligible. (one byte at most per packet)

yeah you explained it the other day over IRC ;) which finally made me understand the code. This is basically the follow up: document it :)

@dazo: while you're at moving the manpage over to rst, can you include lz4-v2?
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
the difference is packet data alignment, which is better with the -v2 compression algorithms - which reflects into "less CPU usage, less power drain on mobile devices, possibly higher throughput".
And you're right, we need to document this.
