Redefine GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP variables as KGZIP, KBZIP2, KLZOP resp.
GZIP, BZIP2, LZOP env variables are reserved by the tools. The original
attempt to redefine them internally doesn't work in makefiles/scripts
intercall scenarios, e.g., "make GZIP=gzip bindeb-pkg" and results in
broken builds. There can be other broken build commands because of this,
so the universal solution is to use non-reserved env variables for the
compression tools.Fixes: 8dfb61dcbace ("kbuild: add variables for compression tools")

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=pbzip2Variables _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 The use of GZIP in gzip tool is obsolete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"Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov

Add a 'dir-pkg' target which just creates the same directory structures
as in tar-pkg, but doesn't package anything.
Useful when the user wants to copy the kernel tree on a machine using
ssh, rsync or whatever.Signed-off-by: Matteo Croce

scripts/package/Makefile does not use $(obj) or $(src) at all.
It actually generates files and directories in the top of $(objtree).
I do not see much sense in descending into scripts/package/.Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
