As described in RFC 1952, section 2.3.1, the XFL (eXtra FLags) byte of a
gzip member header should indicate whether the DEFLATE algorithm was
tuned for speed or compression ratio. Prior to this patch, archives
emitted by the gzip module always indicated maximum compression.
(cherry picked from commit eab3b3f)
