bug#32815: Corrective patch for GNU gzip

[Manfred Morgner]

Hello all,
the manual page of GNU gzip says:
------------------------------DIAGNOSTICS       Exit status is normally 0; if 
an error occurs, exit status is 1. If a warning occurs, exit status is 
2.------------------------------
This is not the case sind version >1.5 for the situation when the source file 
already ends with .gz 
Test:
$ gzip 2018.gzgzip: 2018.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged$ echo $?0
Following the patch for it:
diff --git a/gzip.c b/gzip.cindex e6a7761..bf3eb0a 100644--- a/gzip.c+++
