erofs: drop all vle annotations for runtime names

VLE was an old informal name of fixed-sized output
compression which came from published ATC'19 paper [1].

Drop those old annotations since erofs can handle
all encoded clusters in block-aligned basis, which
is wider than fixed-sized output compression after
larger clustersize feature is fully implemented.

Unaligned encoding won't be considered in EROFS
since it's not friendly to inplace I/O and perhaps
decompression inplace.

a) Fixed-sized output compression with 16KB pcluster:
  ___________________________________
 |xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|
 |___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___| physical blocks

b) Block-aligned fixed-sized input compression with
   16KB pcluster:
  ___________________________________
 |xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxx00000|
 |___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___| physical blocks

c) Block-unaligned fixed-sized input compression with
   16KB compression unit:
  ____________________________________________
 |..xxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|xxxxxxxx|x.......|
 |___ 0___|___ 1___|___ 2___|___ 3___|___ 4___| physical blocks

Refine better names for those as well.
