Think this is the right patch for the ebuild

As per subject, this is the recommendation of xpra's author, who states:

• disabling lz4 is not recommended. I wouldn't bother enabling x265 either - it is too slow.

• lz4 is tiny yet it provides massive savings.

On Gentoo this flag pulls in only the package dev-python/lz4
