[Juju 2] Archived controller logs should be compressed by default

[Larry Michel]

The archived logs are not compressed and as a result could end up filling up the file system quicker over time on a shared controller. I think they should be compressed by default.

For example:

root@ubuntuguest:/var/log/juju# ls -l
total 1322076
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 0 Nov 2 19:36 audit.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 314572728 Nov 3 01:45 logsink-2016-11-03T01-45-49.648.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 314572675 Nov 3 08:53 logsink-2016-11-03T08-53-55.305.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 67694569 Nov 3 16:34 logsink.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 314572620 Nov 3 03:31 machine-0-2016-11-03T03-31-13.809.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 314572694 Nov 4 09:45 machine-0-2016-11-04T09-45-23.087.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 27791455 Nov 4 14:24 machine-0.log

After compressing archived files:

root@ubuntuguest:/var/log/juju# ls -l
total 177756
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 0 Nov 2 19:36 audit.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 21091323 Nov 3 01:45 logsink-2016-11-03T01-45-49.648.log.gz
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 20756479 Nov 3 08:53 logsink-2016-11-03T08-53-55.305.log.gz
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 67694569 Nov 3 16:34 logsink.log
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 24578335 Nov 3 03:31 machine-0-2016-11-03T03-31-13.809.log.gz
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 19321844 Nov 4 09:45 machine-0-2016-11-04T09-45-23.087.log.gz
-rw------- 1 syslog syslog 28558247 Nov 4 14:32 machine-0.log
