In order to target older operating systems, we need to be able to set the compression to something that they'll support, such as xz. For example, these days, zstd is the default, but that won't work on older systems.

This option allows you to specify the compression on the command line. If you do not use the new setting, then the default value from dpkg-deb will be used, just the same as before.

This adds go.mod support at version 1.19.  This will make it easier
for other people to pull the repo and work on it, since modules is
the way to go these days.

Note that I based this on #13, which adds go.mod support.
