let's use the automatic decoding functions curl provides instead of
implementing them ourselves for the dubious ability to support both
xz and bzip2 encodings as well, neither of which anything will send

Lix no longer supports the non-standard HTTP Content-Encoding values xz and bzip2.
We do not expect this to cause any problems in practice since these encodings aren't
standard, and any server delivering them anyway without being asked to is already well
and truly set on the path of causing inexplicable client breakages.
Lix's ability to decompress files compressed with xz or bzip2 is unaffected. We're
only bringing Lix more in line with the HTTP standard; all post-transfer data handling
remains as it was before.
