2021-05-03maint: Do not xz-compress ISO images.Ludovic Courtès

Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/46737>. PostgreSQL running with a different socket directory to the default one in the package itself breaks some services, this commit restores the previous behaviour where PostgreSQL by default will run with a socket directory that matches the default used by PostgreSQL packaged for Guix.
