iteratee ByteStringLike conversions

[Michael Baikov]

The best possible option of  handling exception should be capturing
SeekExceptions and transforming them internally in such way, that all
consumers will work exactly the same way as they worked on
uncompressed version of the same stream. This can be inefficient and
slow (not every compression type supports seeking) or require some
extra bookkeeping, but as a result it will give as the ability to
transparently support any compression, which is very cool. It should
pass all other exceptions as they are.

Also it will be great  to add module Data.Iteratee.Compress with two
exported functions

enumCompress :: MonadIO m => FilePath -> Enumeratee ByteString ByteString m a
enumDecompress :: MonadIO m => FilePath -> Enumeratee ByteString ByteString m a

which will detect used format by file extensions and will use default
options for packing/unpacking - just  a simple high level functions
for those who are not interested in fine tuning compression details a
lot (it  is about 99.8% of all users I suspect).
