Gzip compression with zlib

Feature requests
#1

For now, zlib can only deflate and inflate
But I need to use gzip format now. Is it possible? For now I am trying get it as NE

There is currently no support for gzip format, and it’s unlikely we’ll add it.
I think it’s a perfect candidate for a NE.

Oh yes. Text book example of a native extension. Please share your result @Insality!

@Insality please make NE asynchronous to avoid blocking the main thread. The standard inflate/deflate functions are synchronous and only suitable for small data.
