Changing from tar.gz to zip blows up the codeql-cpp database filesize from ~2.8GB to 5.5GB. While this isn't prohibitively large in terms of transfer and storage costs, our CI just doesn't support it.

Apparently AWS requires us to use multi-part HTTP PUT requests for files above 5GB and that isn't happening any time soon (I think this is https://github.com/taskcluster/scrum/issues/37).

I'm wontfixing this bug.
