Documentation: update the Squashfs filesystem documentation

Browse Source 
This patch updates the following which are out of date.

- Zstd has been added to the compression algorithms supported.
- The filesystem mailing list (for the kernel code) is changed to
  linux-fsdevel rather than the now very little used Sourceforge
  mailing list.
- The Squashfs website has been changed to the Squashfs-tools github
  repository.
- The fact that Squashfs-tools is likely packaged by the linux
  distribution is mentioned.
