[Bug 1467187] [NEW] allow usage of multicore implementations of compression tools

 

Public bug reported:

It'd be great to be able to use compression formation implementations
which allow multicore CPU usage (e.g. `pigz` for gunzip, `pbzip2` for
bzip2, etc.). Imo there's no argument against using them by default
because most user just will see an significant increase of speed with
some decent default values for parallelization options (`-p` of `pigz`,
etc.) based on the CPU (cores).
