[Bug 2045412] Re: [mantic] Allow module compression to be turned off

It seems the changes were added at some point without properly
reflecting it in this bug report. Double checked that Noble contained
them and FWIW that was the last place it mattered as this is the final
HWE kernel for Jammy.

Title:
[mantic] Allow module compression to be turned off

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Mantic:
Won't Fix

Bug description:
[SRU Justification]

== Impact

23.10/Mantic (and newer) kernels are packaged with modules compressed
to save disk space and load time. This will remain unchanged. For
simplifying backports into 22.04/Jammy LTS we need a way to turn this
off when compiling those newer kernels as HWE kernels.

== Fix

Add an option to turn off module compression when packaging the
kernel. This will be unset when compiling Mantic and newer. So there
will be no change there.

== Testcase

Verify that in Mantic the size of the modules package(s) does not
change.

== Regression potential

The compression could be accidentally disabled in newer kernels.
