Different archive formats support a compression level in the range
[0-9]. The value 0 is for lowest compressions and 9 for highest. Highest
levels produce output files of smaller sizes but require more memory to
do the compression.
This change allows passing a "compression-level" option to the git
archive command and implements using it for different file formats.

Entries for directories are optional and mostly wasted space in most
archive formats (except as a place to hang ownership and filesystem
permissions), but "git archive" includes them. Follow suit.
This will make it easier in a later change to include empty
directories as placeholders for missing submodules.
