    Add 842-format software compression and decompression functions.
    Update the MAINTAINERS 842 section to include the new files.
    
    The 842 compression function can compress any input data into the 842
    compression format.  The 842 decompression function can decompress any
    standard-format 842 compressed data - specifically, either a compressed
    data buffer created by the 842 software compression function, or a
    compressed data buffer created by the 842 hardware compressor (located
    in PowerPC coprocessors).
    
    The 842 compressed data format is explained in the header comments.
    
    This is used in a later patch to provide a full software 842 compression
    and decompression crypto interface.
