Release tarball file extension differs from compression type.

The latest release tarball has a .gz extension, but it's actually compressed with xz.
$ tarball=https://github.com/dlumbrer/kbn_network/releases/download/6.3.X-1/network_vis.tar.gz
$ curl -Ls $tarball | tar -tzvf -
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child died with signal 13
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
$ curl -Ls $tarball | file -
/dev/stdin: XZ compressed data
$ curl -Ls $tarball | tar -tJvf - | head

It would be nice to change either the extension or the compression type so that they match.
If sticking with xz, it might be good to put an example tar command in the README too, since not all users are familiar with the -J flag.
Cheers.
