Use xz instead of gzip for packaging CentOS tarballs

Description

Whatever next version of MapGuide we release, for the CentOS build we should use the xz compression instead of gzip for creating tarballs

xz is a unix-friendly variant of lzma. Our windows installers are already lzma archives. Thus switching to xz compression should give us tarballs whose size is around the same ballpark as our Windows installers (140-150 MB) instead of 217MB as of the 2.6 release

The default tar utility in CentOS 6.x and Ubuntu 12.04 already supports xz compression, so support is not an issue.
