Description

Make this configurable via Make variables.

This is a PoC based on #5468, to see if it is generally possible and to have something to tinker with. CI seems to be passing. The size reduction is about 25% for the linux-amd64 executable, and over 30% for the windows-amd64 executable.

I did some highly scientific ^^ benchmarks using time ./k0s on my machine, to compare startup times of the compressed and uncompressed versions of the executable. For me, compression added around 420 ms of startup latency.
