The primary purpose of this commit is to make decompress default to
wbits=15 when the format is gzip (or auto format with gzip detected). The
idea is that someone decompressing a gzip stream should be able to use the
default `deflate.DeflateIO(f)` and it will "just work" for any input
stream, even though it uses a lot of memory.
This is done by making uzlib report gzip files as having wbits set to 15
in their header (where it previously only set the wbits out parameter for
zlib files), and then fixing up the logic in `deflateio_init_read`.
Updates the documentation to match.

This provides similar functionality to the former zlib.DecompIO and
especially CPython's gzip.GzipFile for both compression and decompression.
This class can be used directly, and also can be used from Python to
implement (via io.BytesIO) zlib.decompress and zlib.compress, as well as
gzip.GzipFile.
Enable/disable this on all ports/boards that zlib was previously configured
for.
