Subject: saveconfig: compress the backup config files
Git-commit: 3d9e6c616ca7789d281843caf2d3dfb99dbf78a0

We have noticed saveconfig.json with 100 storage objects and 100 targets
(each holding a single tpg and a portal) consumes disk space around ~500K.

Which is very expensive, and backing-up such 100 saveconfig.json files will
take ~50M of disk space under /etc/target/backup/

And at scale like 1000 storage objects and targets, this will become worst.

Hence this patch attempts to compress(gzip) and store saveconfig.json while
backing-up.

Saved space example:

[root@localhost ~]# targetcli ls | grep -e "user:glfs" -e "iscsi"
  | o- user:glfs ......................... [Storage Objects: 100]
  o- iscsi ............................... [Targets: 100]

[root@localhost ~]# du -sh /etc/target/saveconfig.json
448K    /etc/target/saveconfig.json

[root@localhost ~]# du -sh /etc/target/backup/saveconfig-20181128-18\:20\:43-json.gz
12K     /etc/target/backup/saveconfig-20181128-18:20:43-json.gz

Reducing disk usage per backup file from 448K to 12K is very efficient right.
