Subject: Read CONFIG_RD_ variables for initramfs compression

When expert configuration option(CONFIG_EXPERT) is enabled,
menuconfig offers a choice of compression algorithm to compress
initial ramfs image; This choice is stored into CONFIG_RD_*
variables. But usr/Makefile uses earlier INITRAMFS_COMPRESSION_*
macros to build initial ramfs file. Since none of them is defined,
resulting 'initramfs_data.cpio' file remains un-compressed.

This patch updates the Makefile to use CONFIG_RD_* variables and
adds support for LZ4 compression algorithm. Also updates the
'gen_initramfs_list.sh' script to check whether a selected
compression command is accessible or not. And fall-back to default
gzip(1) compression when it is not.
