use gzipped tarballs instead of xz #8

xzipped tarballs are only available for Emacs 24.2 and newer.

That would make downloading pre-releases fail, since the tarballs in https://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/pretest/ are all xzipped.

(Travis did not fail because we cache non-snapshot releases)

Also, when both gz and xz exist, the xz shave off significant bytes.

At the very least, you could use the existing test for PRE_RELEASE_PART to ensure xz is used there. And probably add another test in the else branch on the version number to get the gz for versions inferior to 24.2.

Ah, gotcha. OK, I'll take a look.
