Restore the `-gz` option to the driver with some minor tweaks to handle
the additional case for `-Wa,--compress-debug-sections`.
This intends to make the compression of the debug information
controllable from the driver. The following is the behaviour:
-gz enable compression (ambiguous for format, will default to zlib-gnu)
-gz=none disable compression
-gz=zlib-gnu enable compression (deprecated GNU style zlib compression)
-gz=zlib enable compression (zlib based compression)
Although -Wa,-compress-debug-sections works, it should be discouraged
when using the driver to invoke the assembler. However, we permit the
assembler to accept the GNU as style argument --compress-debug-sections
to maintain compatibility.
Note, -gz/-gz= does *NOT* imply -g. That is, you need to additionally
specific -g for debug information to be generated.

cc1as does not currently access the "--" version of this flag. At the
very least this needs to be fixed and proper test cases need to be
added.
Simple reproducer:
clang -Wa,--compress-debug-sections /tmp/test.cc
Result:
error: unknown argument: '--compress-debug-sections'

Split the no-ias tests and give them a target to ensure that they go
down the GNU toolchain path. Adjust the no compression support tests.
