[pve-devel] [PATCH manager] pvesh: decode streamed responses properly

[Christoph Heiss]

This allows to use `pvesh` on endpoints like /nodes/{node}/journal,
which return streamed (and possibly gzip'd) responses.

Currently, e.g. `pvesh get /nodes/localhost/journal --lastentries 10`
fails with:

  gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
  got hash object, but result schema specified array!

(.. and similar messages for other output formats.)

This is due the API call returning a "download" object, which contains
(among some other things) a file handle to read the response from.

With this patch, the response from such endpoints is now correctly
read/displayed. Only handles combinations of `Content-Encoding` ==
'gzip' and either 'text/plain' or 'application/json' as `Content-Type`.
As far as I could see (aka. grep for it), only these combinations are
used currently.

Tested this with all four output formats 'text', 'json', 'json-pretty'
and 'yaml', as well as "cross-node" in a local test cluster.
