Christopher Wellons 2cf762a808 WIP Reduce advzip compression to -z3 (bug workaround) ...

As of GDB 13.1, gdb.exe contains static data that triggers a bug in x64
Windows zip integration as far back as Windows 7. After recompressing
with "advzip -z4", extracting gdb.exe fails with "Unspecified error"
0x80004005. It happens with both 32-bit and 64-bit gdb.exe builds, and
regardless of compiler flags, which is why I'm confident it's static
data. No other zip program I've tried has trouble with this file.

WIP NOTE: I thought it might not happen with -z3, but it still does. The
committed "advzip.sample" contains the bad pattern.
