httppeer: use compression engine API for decompressing responses

In preparation for supporting multiple compression formats on the
wire protocol, we need all users of the wire protocol to use
compression engine APIs.

This commit ports the HTTP wire protocol client to use the
compression engine API.

The code for handling the HTTPException is a bit hacky. Essentially,
HTTPException could be thrown by any read() from the socket. However,
as part of porting the API, we no longer have a generator wrapping
the socket and we don't have a single place where we can trap the
exception. We solve this by introducing a proxy class that intercepts
read() and converts the exception appropriately.

In the future, we could introduce a new compression engine API that
supports emitting a generator of decompressed chunks. This would
eliminate the need for the proxy class. As I said when I introduced
the decompressorreader() API, I'm not fond of it and would support
transitioning to something better. This can be done as a follow-up,
preferably once all the code is using the compression engine API and
we have a better idea of the API needs of all the consumers.
