[issue15955] gzip, bz2, lzma: add method to get decompressed size

New submission from Christian Heimes:

The gzip, bz2 and lzma file reader have no method to get the actual size and compression ratio of a compressed file. In my opinion it's useful to know how much disk space a file will need before it's decompressed.
