The Golang built-in gzip library is serialized, and fairly slow
at decompressing. It also only decompresses on demand, versus
pipelining decompression.
This change switches to using the pigz external command
for gzip decompression, as opposed to using the built-in
golang one. This code is not vendored, but will be used
if it autodetected as part of the OS.
This also switches to using context, versus a manually
managed channel to manage cancellations, and synchronization.
There is a little bit of weirdness around manually having
to cancel in the error cases.

Upgrade the frozen images to the multi-arch ones.
Since issue #35963 is not fixed yet on linux/amd64, so we keep the busybox
image on amd64 untouched.

Go has supported PIC builds for a while now, and given the security
benefits of using PIC binaries we should really enable them. There also
appears to be some indication that non-PIC builds have been interacting
oddly on ppc64le (the linker cannot load some shared libraries), and
using PIC builds appears to solve this problem.
