zRAM swap for Anaconda: zram can be turned on and off with the inst.zram argument. It will be used automatically for systems with <2GB, and not used for systems with >2GB. zRAM is a standard block device like tmpfs with one nice difference -- its content is compressed. One clever usage of such device is using it as a swap device which effectively means one can have compressed RAM. Some experiments show that by using zRAM as a swap device in the installation process anaconda can install to machines with lower amount of RAM (succeeded with 320 MB) and installations on low-RAM systems (< 1 GB) run faster due to usage of zRAM swap instead/together with the standard swap we create and use for package installation. Specific limits, numbers and way of implementation may be changed in the future, but this commit introduces the basic idea and straightforward approach. --vpodzimek
