httppeer: use compression engine API for decompressing responses In preparation for supporting multiple compression formats on the wire protocol, we need all users of the wire protocol to use compression engine APIs. This commit ports the HTTP wire protocol client to use the compression engine API. The code for handling the HTTPException is a bit hacky. Essentially, HTTPException could be thrown by any read() from the socket. However, as part of porting the API, we no longer have a generator wrapping the socket and we don't have a single place where we can trap the exception. We solve this by introducing a proxy class that intercepts read() and converts the exception appropriately. In the future, we could introduce a new compression engine API that supports emitting a generator of decompressed chunks. This would eliminate the need for the proxy class. As I said when I introduced the decompressorreader() API, I'm not fond of it and would support transitioning to something better. This can be done as a follow-up, preferably once all the code is using the compression engine API and we have a better idea of the API needs of all the consumers.
