INSTALL, cmd.mk, install-man.mk: Support installing compressed pages
Distributions usually install compressed (.gz) pages to reduce space. Let's support this in our build system, as a command-line variable "Z", which is empty by default, but can be set to a file extension to append to the page names (and the appropriate compression program will be used). For now, the only compression supported is ".gz". Example: $ make install Z=.gz This can be combined with LINK_PAGES, to produce compressed pages and use symbolic links for the link pages: $ make install Z=.gz LINK_PAGES=symlink Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
