aarch64: Allow -kernel option to take a gzip-compressed kernel.
On aarch64 it is the bootloader's job to uncompress the kernel. UEFI
and u-boot bootloaders do this automatically when the kernel is
gzip-compressed.
However the qemu -kernel option does not do this. The following
command does not work:
qemu-system-aarch64 [...] -kernel /boot/vmlinuz
because it tries to execute the gzip-compressed data.
This commit lets gzip-compressed kernels be uncompressed
transparently.
Currently this is only done when emulating aarch64.
