1. More lenient gzip decompression …

   Be explicitly lenient with gzip decompression by always requesting
   `zlib` to flush the input data and never explicitly ending the
   `zlib` input.
   
   The behavioural difference is that on Node ≥ 6, which has a slightly
   stricter gzip decoding process than previous Node versions, malformed
   but otherwise acceptable server responses are still properly
   decompressed (the most common example being a missing checksum
   at the stream end).
   
   This aligns behaviour with cURL, which always uses the `Z_SYNC_FLUSH`
   flag for decompression.
   
   On the downside, accidental truncation of a response is no longer
   detected on the compression layer.

   Fixes: request#2482
