[issue19051] Unify buffered readers

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Parts of the patch here actually do the same thing as my LZMAFile patch for Issue 15955. I wish I had looked at the patch earlier! The difference is I used a proposed max_length parameter for the decompressor rather than unlimited decompression, and I used the existing BufferedReader class rather than implementing a new custom one.

The changes for the “gzip” module could probably be merged with my GzipFile patch at Issue 15955 and made to use BufferedReader.
