gzip: fix compression level bug. Closes 9131 fix broken logic to get the gzip_level_config value from options -1 to -9. This fixes an off-by-one bug that caused gzip -9 output bigger files than the other compression levels. It fixes so that compression level 1 to 3 are actually mapped to level 4 as comments say. It also fixes that levels -4 to -9 is mapped to correct level and avoids out-of-bounds access.
