linux-libre: Support module compression.
This commit adds support for GZIP compression for linux-libre kernel
modules. The initrd modules are kept uncompressed as the initrd is already
compressed as a whole.
The linux-libre kernel also supports XZ compression, but as Guix does not have
any available bindings for now, and the compression time is far more
significant, GZIP seems to be a better option.

'call-with-gzip-input-port' to read from a module file using '.gz' extension,
