[issue39121] gzip header write OS field

[Rob Man]

Rob Man <sir.mandic at gmail.com> added the comment:

I do not need it for personaly, but since RFC exists and since linux
command line equivalent writes OS information, why should python gzip
implementation not include that.
The same goes for the FCOMMENT field for wich I also have a patch ready and
I they're both nice enhancements.
