[HTTPS-Everywhere] A small request

[Peter Eckersley]

This seems like a reasonable idea.  I've opened a ticket:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5297

Patches would be accepted for this!

(We already avoided the most extreme case of lots of small files this way:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3404
but keeping default.rulesets in zipped or gzipped form would reduce our disk
consumption and startup disk IO load by a few hundred kilobytes)
