Description
Topic is closely related to #12369 that has been committed as [9461].
When disk space or disk speed is an issue, compressing autosave files can help a lot. By setting preference autosave.extension to osm.gz JOSM saves compressed files in autosave folder.
This function needs patches in #12370 because AutosaveTask.getUnsavedLayersFiles() uses OsmImporter.FILE_FILTER. This included only .osm and .xml extensions, therefore did not find compressed files at startup in autosave folder. Combined filter contains .osm, .osm.gz and .osm.bz2 as well.
If accepted, this option can later have a dropdown list on preferences dialog (map settings / file backup).
