RFE: add autogenerate tar.xz archives #1905

Up to now it is possible to download over rest interface zip. tar.gz and tar file. IMO it would be good to add possibility to download tar.xz files as well.

Wouldn't also straight .7z make sense since .zip is supported?

github supports tar.gz and zip only but because up to now there is no any tags (https://github.com/isaacs/github/tags) it is not possible to download release tar ball from the release tag.
