…owadays (and to think this started with Stacker on MS-DOS!), so it makes sense to use **uncompressed** WARC files on a BTRFS or NTFS with it activated. This commit deactivates the WARCIO gzip support when the filename **does not** ends with `.gz`, allowing the user to use these filesystems to reach the compression he wants without having to deal with uncompressing the WARC on use. for webrecorder#915

That's the thing: we have file systems with transparent compression nowadays (and to think this started with Stacker on MS-DOS!), so it makes sense to use uncompressed WARC files on a BTRFS or NTFS with it activated. This commit deactivates the WARCIO gzip support when the filename does not ends with
.gz, allowing the user to use these filesystems to reach the compression he wants without having to deal with uncompressing the WARC on use.for #915
This code is being used for 2 months already on a linux box and
btrfsusingzstd:15compression for theWARCfiles. The penalty on writing is negligible,the readings are perceptively faster and the compression level is way better.
