Alvaro Herrera 4d57e83816 Fix pg_dump's errno checking for zlib I/O
Some error reports were reporting strerror(errno), which for some error
conditions coming from zlib are wrong, resulting in confusing reports
such as
  pg_restore: [compress_io] could not read from input file: Success
which makes no sense.  To correctly extract the error message we need to
use gzerror(), so let's do that.

This isn't as comprehensive or as neat as I would like, but at least it
should improve things in many common cases.  The zlib abstraction in
compress_io does not seem to be applied consistently enough; we could
perhaps improve that, but it seems master-only material, not a bug fix
for back-patching.

This problem goes back all the way, but I decided to apply back to 9.4
only, because older branches don't contain commit 14ea89366 which this
change depends on.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
