Scripts: Fix exit status of xzdiff/xzcmp.

This is a minor fix since this affects only the situation when
the files differ and the exit status is something else than 0.
In such case there could be SIGPIPE from a decompression tool
and that would result in exit status of 2 from xzdiff/xzcmp
while the correct behavior would be to return 1 or whatever
else diff or cmp may have returned.

This commit omits the -q option from xz/gzip/bzip2/lzop arguments.
I'm not sure why the -q was used in the first place, perhaps it
hides warnings in some situation that I cannot see at the moment.
Hopefully the removal won't introduce a new bug.

With gzip the -q option was harmful because it made gzip return 2
instead of >= 128 with SIGPIPE. Ignoring exit status 2 (warning
from gzip) isn't practical because bzip2 uses exit status 2 to
indicate corrupt input file. It's better if SIGPIPE results in
exit status >= 128.

With bzip2 the removal of -q seems to be good because with -q
it prints nothing if input is corrupt. The other tools aren't
silent in this situation even with -q. On the other hand, if
zstd support is added, it will need -q since otherwise it's
noisy in normal situations.

Thanks to Étienne Mollier and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior.
