[Rpm-metadata] [PATCH] modifyrepo: fix --compress option bug. BZ 950724

[Zdenek Pavlas]

We were compressing files added to the repository even when
the --compress option was not specified.  It's even documented
in modifyrepo man page examples.

Fix the bug that caused this, and change the default to True
to minimize possible breakage.  Also add --no-compress option
to turn it off.
