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

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

You don't need to know the final size. You just need to be able to pass an output size limit. This would be an easy feature to add to functions like zlib.decompress(), since they already handle sizing of the output buffer.
