Compress the tarballs with both gzip (for backward compatibility) and
xz (to get better compression).

This is part of the preliminary work for rust-lang/rust#21724

The compression can be performed using 7z or xz. AppVeyor provides 7z by default and I think it might be easier to install packages on Linux/Mac (i.e. the TravisCI environments) with apt install p7zip-full or brew install p7zip. Is this ok?

provided by the `p7zip-full` package.

Unless this PR gets merged shortly, it might make sense to integrate it in the Rust-based rust-installer rust-lang/rust#41569

Looks right to me. Thanks @ranma42. Next step is to update the submodule in rust-lang/rust, and update the CI configuration to make 7zip available everywhere.
