Description

In principle, lzma-rs doesn't have a long list of dependencies, and implements the core LZMA algorithm purely in Rust. Therefore, it could be made compatible with no_std build targets (at least when none of the dev dependencies/features are activated).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current dependencies and use `#![no std]` attribute. Replace `std` imports with `core` or `alloc` where necessary. Use conditional compilation to handle `std` only features.
