RFR: 8293499: Provide jmod compression level option

I have been looking into `make clean-images images` performance, and realized jmod keeps compressing files with default compression level. Tuning that toward lighter compression levels improves build performance considerably, without a heavy loss in *.jmod sizes.
This PR allows JMOD to select the compression level. Follow-ups would use this in the build system.
This change nominally requires CSR, but I would like to gauge the reaction to this patch first, before submitting a formal CSR. The interesting asymmetry against `jlink` is: `jlink` provides `--compress` option that only takes `2` for "ZIP compression". I would argue it would be beneficial to add `--compression-level` to `jlink` as well, so to select the compression level there too.
