Gzipping text providers

[exussum12]

Looking at the Text files they are 6.8MB. With gzip these could be 2.3MB a saving of 4.5MB.

This would require a minor rewrite of all of the text files and rely on gzencode and gzdecode.

Happy to do this just checking this would be a change which would be accepted ?
Installs over past 30 days taken from packagist is 2,733,223 which equates to 13TB of extra hard drive space taken up by this just in the last 30 days . Bandwidth would drop less so (a little under 0.1mb from a quick test) but even that would add up given the popularity,

Let me know your thoughts

Thanks

@exussum12 this would mean we have to update all providers right since we need to move the actual content in a seperate file to gzip?

[exussum12]

Either a seperate file or just replace the content with gzip in the heredocs. Happy to do either way.if it's in the heredocs would just need to call a function on the content. It would be the smaller code change but the class would be unreadable

@exussum12 i like the idea however we are planning in releasing the latest 1.x version of Faker and after that start with 2.0. So i would like to drag this in there.
