#52925: bitbucket: use bz2 downloads of automatically generated tarballs by default

-------------------------+--------------------------------
 The bitbucket service offers zip, gz and bz2 downloads of automatically
 generated tarballs. The bitbucket portgroup currently uses gz downloads.
 Is there a reason why it does not use bz2 which compresses better and is
 smaller?

 If we change the default to "use_bzip2 yes", all ports that use this
 download feature would have to have "use_bzip2 no" added until the next
 time they're updated, to prevent checksum mismatches.
