Optimize SquashFS for currently supported use cases

We still optimize (sort) the SquashFS for bare metal DVD, while nowadays:

  • ISO images are supported for VMs only.
  • Everyone else should use the USB image.

So let’s instead optimize for bare metal USB sticks, i.e. the most common real-world use case. I doubt it’ll harm performance for VMs (an internal hard drive is very different from a bare metal DVD drive anyway).

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
