feat(24.04): add gzip

[Meulengracht]

Proposed changes

Propose tools gzip and tar. I did not propose tar alone, as tar invokes gzip as the underlying compression tool.

Forward porting

#483

@Meulengracht can you pls rebase :)

[cjdcordeiro]

(some additional tests needed - discussed offline)

Other than the missing tests, this looks good to me.

[rebornplusplus]

This looks good to me. Thank you!

There are still many binaries not tested. Besides, we should remove the systems: directive in the yaml, since ppc64le and s390x are not tested by spread anyways.

Hi @zhijie-yang,

Are you & Canonical working to bring slices for gzip to 24.04 and 24.10?

Thanks!
Jeremy
