[issue15955] gzip, bz2, lzma: add option to limit output size

[Nikolaus Rath]

Nikolaus Rath added the comment:

Martin, I'll try to review your GzipFile patch. But maybe it would make sense to open a separate issue for this?

I think the LZMAFile patch has not yet been reviewed or committed, and we probably want a patch for BZ2File too. The review page is already pretty cluttered right now, so I think it would make sense to use this issue for the low-level compressor/decompressor API and handle the *File API separately.
