docs: compiling.html: pass -d to xz to decompress

tar on macOS recognizes XZ compression automatically, but that is
not the case for GNU tar (1.32 at least).  On Fedora 33 the current
instructions result in the following error:

  $ xz -c libvirt-6.9.0.tar.xz | tar xvf -
  tar: Archive is compressed. Use -J option
  tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
