Do not require "gzip" in tests.

The gzip utility is simply expected to be present on any decent
target system for Automake.  So it's pointless to put it in
$required.

* tests/install2.test ($required): Do not require "gzip".
* tests/lex3.test: Likewise.
* tests/pr9.test: Likewise.

From a suggestion by Ralf Wildenhues.
