Incorporating inflator.ml directly into decompress as high-level interface? about decompress

[abbysmal]

I think this was supposed to be incorporated inside ocaml-git (which is the library using it.)
I am maybe wrong but ping @samoht @dinosaure :)

@yomimono just pointed this out to me: mirage/ocaml-git#145...

Hmmmhmm, inflater.ml is very specific for Irmin project and it has a dependency with cstruct and mstruct. So, the goal is to integrate Decompress in ocaml-git (I don't want any dependencies in Decompress) but @Samoth and me work on the performance (specifically with Inflate) and when we have a good result, we will provide a Interface inside ocaml-git.

note: I'm fine to add decompress as a depopt in ocaml-git whenever you want. I just have some reservations about it being pulled in by default :-)

[samoht]

Actually, given that it doesn't bring any dependency, I am fine to have Decompress in ocaml-git by default, but not just as the main implementation for now on (e.g. the user should be able to use the module it if wants it, but by default it should use camlzip). Not sure how easy it is to do but patches are welcome.

Done from a long time ago.
