Use parallel xz compression

One of mmdebstrap benefits over deboostrap is that it is faster.
Creating a xz tarball as output will take a lot of time, since xz
consumes a lot of compute power and tar uses only one core.

Therefore use parallel xz compression since xz supports it using the -T
parameter.
