Support GZIP on its own #120

Closed Whodiduexpect closed 10 months ago

There’s little point to using a tar.gz archive with only one file when it can be directly compressed with gzip (a gz file). Yet if you take this approach, self_update fails to recognize that the file is compressed and treats it as the binary.

Oh, it actually is supported, but the file extension needs to be in the name of the asset in the GitLab backend rather than the filename.
