Restore the `-gz` option to the driver with some minor tweaks to handle
the additional case for `-Wa,--compress-debug-sections`.

This intends to make the compression of the debug information
controllable from the driver.  The following is the behaviour:

  -gz           enable compression (ambiguous for format, will default to zlib-gnu)
  -gz=none      disable compression
  -gz=zlib-gnu  enable compression (deprecated GNU style zlib compression)
  -gz=zlib      enable compression (zlib based compression)

Although -Wa,-compress-debug-sections works, it should be discouraged
when using the driver to invoke the assembler.  However, we permit the
assembler to accept the GNU as style argument --compress-debug-sections
to maintain compatibility.

Note, -gz/-gz= does *NOT* imply -g.  That is, you need to additionally
specific -g for debug information to be generated.
