Replace .sdcard image to sdcard.gz image as a default image type for
all machines.

The SDCard class has the feature of compress the generated .sdcard image.
It can be used to ease the exchange of this image among developers or machines.

My suggestion follow the order WHAT -> WHY

I understand it's the best for a server. But it's not good for my
local development.

It will add 2 useless steps in my normal development cycle: 1-
compress 2- uncompress

Are we assuming  majority of FSL Community BSP is client of a server,
or are we assuming they are individual developers?
