Regression in gunzip in 5.9.0 -- GZ files that used to uncompress no longer do #5871

Description

@tstanev

Using the built-in gunzip results in error on certain gzip files (example attached). The error is code -3, Z_DATA_ERROR, "unknown compression method". The file used to gunzip fine with version 5.6.0 of node. Likely culprit (just guessing) is #5120. The same file can be decompressed without error using the OSX gunzip utility on the command line.
