[PATCH] makedumpfile: reverse -c and -p if using snappy compression

From: Cliff Wickman <cpw at sgi.com>

Reverse the meanings of -c (compression) and -p (snappy compression) if
USESNAPPY is defined.

The distro kdump scripts seem to only support -c for compression.
So make -c mean snappy compression if it is supported.

Diffed against makedumpfile-1.5.4
