CONFIG_DPKG and CONFIG_DPKG_DEB unnecessarily depend on

Because the C code of both dpkg and dpkg-deb are already aware of no-GZ
configuration, it's safe to remove that dependency.
My understanding is that .deb files usually use .gz compression,
and building dpkg without support for .gz results in a useless tool:
there are no .deb files which it can process.
Debian packages support gzip or xz for the control.tar file and a
variety of common compression formats for the data.tar file.
