ZynqHeaders/ZynqReleases not actually compressed

Very minor nit here that might be costing a small amount of money for those who host the EC2 tar.xz files. When I download the Headers/Releases files for the 2024.1, the resulting files are not actually compressed. It looks like compression would get a 10x reduction on the headers file.

Thank you for pointing this out. We’ll get these actually compressed and reposted.

I have uploaded the compressed kernel header releases as those two files were the largest amongst those hosted.
