Don't compress man page(s) in Makefile

Browse Source 
Compressing man pages is a distribution / user preference that should be handled on the packaging side of things.

Indeed, compressing man pages by default imposes a compression algorithm / level whereas most package managers handle that already and eventually allow users to choose or customize them if wanted.

Additionally, it can lead to unexpected side effects. For instance, gzip is recording timestamps in metadata by default, which prevents [reproducible builds](https://reproducible-builds.org/):
