Pack (gzip) output good and bad reads

I think it would be great to pack the output reads (good & bad)!

Will add an option to support gzip the output files after processing is done.

Moreover, maybe it would be better to use .good.fastq instead of .good.fq? It seams to me more common.

I think fq is enough imformative for fastq, but I will consider your suggestion:)

gzip output has been enabled on master branch.

For gzipped input, then the output will be also gzipped. If the input is not gzipped, you can enable --gzip or -z option to force gzip compression.

gzip input --> gzip output
ungzip input --> ungzip output
ungzip input + --gzip (-z) option --> gzip output

Use --compression to change the compression level (0~9), default is 2. The better the compression, the lower the speed.
