[ #403753 ] zlib decompress; uncontrollable memory usage

Mostly by Toby Dickenson and Titus Brown.

Add an optional argument to a decompression object's decompress()
method.  The argument specifies the maximum length of the return
value.  If the uncompressed data exceeds this length, the excess data
is stored as the unconsumed_tail attribute.  (Not to be confused with
unused_data, which is a separate issue.)

Difference from SF patch: Default value for unconsumed_tail is ""
rather than None.  It's simpler if the attribute is always a string.
