Previously the build process would always set KBUILD_IMAGE to the uncompressed Image file (unless XIP_KERNEL or EFI_ZBOOT was enabled) and unconditionally compress it into Image.gz. However there are already build targets for Image.bz2, Image.lz4, Image.lzma, Image.lzo and Image.zstd, so let's make use of those, make the compression method configurable and set KBUILD_IMAGE accordingly so that targets like 'make install' and 'make bindeb-pkg' will use the chosen image.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
