archive: remove pgzip, use gzip from go std lib (MR 25)

This replaces the parallel gzip with the boring gzip from Go's standard
lib. The main motivations for doing this are:

1) Reduce runtime memory requirements

2) shed some external dependencies

There's obviously a trade-off with compression speed/time (as seen
below), but I feel like it's a worthwhile trade-off.

Note that there's likely very little impact to boot performance wrt
extracting these archives, the compression levels are similar.

Measured on a Shift 6mq, which is a very fast phone...
