Clayton Craft 6aec4d564c 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...

** compress/gzip:

User time (seconds): 1.81
System time (seconds): 0.38
Percent of CPU this job got: 104%
Elapsed (wall clock) time (h:mm:ss or m:ss): 0:02.09
Maximum resident set size (kbytes): 62024
