Allow user to use alternative implementations of compression tools,
such as pigz, pbzip2, pxz. For example, multi-threaded tools to
speed up the build:
$ make GZIP=pigz BZIP2=pbzip2
Variables _GZIP, _BZIP2, _LZOP are used internally because original env
vars are reserved by the tools. The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete
since 2015. However, alternative implementations (e.g., pigz) still rely
on it. BZIP2, BZIP, LZOP vars are not obsolescent.
The credit goes to @grsecurity.
As a sidenote, for multi-threaded lzma, xz compression one can use:
$ export XZ_OPT="--threads=0"

Changes in v2:
- _GZIP used instead of GZIP
- tar commands altered to use tools from the vars
Changes in v3:
- _BZIP2 used instead of BZIP2
- _LZOP used instead of LZOP
Changes in v4:
- Unexports removed from Kbuild.include
- MAKEOVERRIDES used in top Makefile
- All variables checks removed from scripts
Changes in v5:
- Conflict with removed LASAT resolved
