The CoreOS team has always produced compressed RHCOS images, however they recently started to add the `.gz` extension to the image file to indicate more clearly that the files are compressed. Previously, the image auto-download feature of the installer was able to uncompress the file on the fly thanks to the use of Content-Disposition + Content-Encoding in the HTTP headers. This change in the image filename caused it to stop uncompressing the file and retrieve the gzipped archive instead. We need to make the installer able to work with RHCOS images having the `.gz` or not having it. This is currently blocking PR https://github.com/openshift/installer/pull/2633 for bug 1768978.
