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...

The getopt thing was an experiment, and I'd rather lose external
dependencies than use getopt-like parsing especially since the only
argument this app takes is largely for testing/development purposes
only.
