Hello,

Just wonder if it's possible to provide xz tarball on the release page and the download site, as is pretty smaller than the gz tarball.

Here is an simple comparison, I just download yarn-v1.12.3.tar.gz, decompress and recompress it with xz, the size of gz tarball is about 140% of the xz tarball:

peter@peter ~ $ ls -l
total 1948
-rw-r--r--  1 peter peter 1166553 Nov  7 23:13 yarn-v1.12.3.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--  1 peter peter  827324 Nov  7 23:13 yarn-v1.12.3.tar.xz

I'd like to help if there is anything I can, thanks!

If we did add any new tarballs on the release page, I think it'd use zstandard.
