zram: add package to use compressed ram disk for swap
The busybox size is increased by 3.2KByte uncompressed on bcm47xx with this commit. This zram-swap automatically creates a zram device, a swap partition on it and make the kernel swap pages to it. Thank you Bastian Bittorf <bittorf@bluebottle.com> for idea and the script. SVN-Revision: 35025
