pg_basebackup compressed tar to stdout
pg_basebackup currently doesn't allow compressed tar to stdout. That
should be added to make the interface consistent, and specifically to
allow common idoms like
pg_basebackup -Ft -z -D - | ssh tar -x -z -f -
Small patch attached.

I have not bothered to read this in context, but the visible part of the
patch makes it look like you broke the not-HAVE_LIBZ case ... other than
that gripe, no objection.

Ah yes, that needs some fine-tuning.
