bpo-39389: gzip: fix compression level metadata (GH-18077)

As described in RFC 1952, section 2.3.1, the XFL (eXtra FLags) byte of a
gzip member header should indicate whether the DEFLATE algorithm was
tuned for speed or compression ratio. Prior to this patch, archives
emitted by the `gzip` module always indicated maximum compression.
(cherry picked from commit eab3b3f1c60afecfb4db3c3619109684cb04bd60)
