Add VM state saving compression level option

Description

AFAIK, VirtualBox currently uses some default(?) value for libgzip(?) when saving and thus compressing running VM's RAM into disk. Sometimes it's needed to tune (as for me, to lower compression levels to compress VM state faster) the compression level. Peculiarly it's very highly desired feature when using SSD storage, where I/O bandwidth capability is super fast.

I see implementation as some global option for all VMs and custom trigger per VM configuration "use global compression level when saving to disk" / "use X compression level when saving to disk".
