GNU gunzip [1] is a shell script that exec's `gzip -d`. Even if we call
/usr/bin/gunzip with the correct built-in path, the actual gzip call
will use whichever gzip it finds first, making our patch pointless.
Fix this by explicitly calling gzip -d instead.

By default, on all platforms except MinGW, libXpm will detect if a
filename ends in .Z or .gz, and will when reading such a file fork off
an uncompress or gunzip command to read from via a pipe, and when
writing such a file will fork off a compress or gzip command to write
to via a pipe.
In libXpm 3.5.14 or older these are run via execlp(), relying on $PATH
to find the commands. If libXpm is called from a program running with
raised privileges, such as via setuid, then a malicious user could set
$PATH to include programs of their choosing to be run with those
privileges.

Documents the two compression options in the README, makes their
configure options reflect the interdependency of their implementation,
and makes the configure script report their configuration.
