bsdtar: xz threads support disabled

Is there any reason why bsdtar is built without XZ multi-threading support?

It's not documented in the man page, so maybe it's an experimental feature.

Can be tested with this command:
tar -Jcf /dev/null --options xz:threads=4 $HOME

After setting HAVE_LZMA_STREAM_ENCODER_MT, it works as expected:
