Scripts: Fix exit status of xzgrep.
Omit the -q option from xz, gzip, and bzip2. With xz this shouldn't
matter. With gzip it's important because -q makes gzip replace SIGPIPE
with exit status 2. With bzip2 it's important because with -q bzip2
is completely silent if input is corrupt while other decompressors
still give an error message.
Avoiding exit status 2 from gzip is important because bzip2 uses
exit status 2 to indicate corrupt input. Before this commit xzgrep
didn't recognize corrupt .bz2 files because xzgrep was treating
exit status 2 as SIGPIPE for gzip compatibility.
zstd still needs -q because otherwise it is noisy in normal
operation.
The code to detect real SIGPIPE didn't check if the exit status
was due to a signal (>= 128) and so could ignore some other exit
status too.
