Subject: [PATCH] Set memory limit for LZMA decompression

Otherwise malicious LZMA compressed files could consume large amounts
of memory when decompressed.

According to the xz man page, files compressed with `xz -9` currently
require 65 MB to decompress, so set the limit to 100 MB.

Should fix bug 786696.
