util: add a stream compression API to compression engines
It is a common pattern throughout the code to perform compression
on an iterator of chunks, yielding an iterator of compressed chunks.
Let's formalize that as part of the compression engine API.
The zlib and bzip2 implementations allow an optional "level" option
to control the compression level. The default values are the same as
what the Python modules use. This option will be used in subsequent
patches.
