Make xz a standard package ?

[Emmanuel Charpentier]

The xz package has been part of Sage for about three months (see Trac#21063). Making it stanrd would simplify handling of tarballs (see Trac#18236), and of R (standard package in Sage, see Trac#20523).

Using xz to solve the latter implies to make zx a standard package. As pointed out by T. Scrim, this should be discussed on sage-devel. Quod facio...
