Matthew Somerville 2a55301f9f [1.8.x] Fixed #24242 -- Improved efficiency of utils.text.compress_sequence() ...

The function no longer flushes zfile after each write as doing so can
lead to the gzipped streamed content being larger than the original
content; each flush adds a 5/6 byte type 0 block. Removing this means
buf.read() may return nothing, so only yield if that has some data.
Testing shows without the flush() the buffer is being flushed every 17k
or so and compresses the same as if it had been done as a whole string.
