gzip support for archive_file

[akranga]

Feature request to implement gzip and base64 support for archive_file. Current issue is in conjunction with #3407. Because now terraform provides data sources which seems to be right abstraction to perform such actions. Here is an example below.

data "archive_file" "foo" {
    type        = "gzip"
    source_file = "${path.module}/cloud-init.yaml"
    output_path = "${path.module}/files/cloud-init.gzip"
}

data "archive_file" "bar" {
    type        = "gzip|base64"
    source_file = "${path.module}/cloud-init.yaml"
    output_path = "${path.module}/files/cloud-init.base64"
}

We would also need a output_content as an attribute that would behave similar to source_content

If this feature request will be supported we can start working implementation.
