This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).
