Allow parsing of compressed log files about request-log-analyzer HOT 7 CLOSED

Do we really want to do this? The idea of linux tools is that they do 1 thing and they do it good. You could just pipe a tar.gz file trough tar and through rla, right? Maybe add an example of this to the examples.

That approach does not work if you want to parse multiple files at once (production.3000.log.gz, production.3001.log.gz, etc.)

Of course, .bz2 and maybe .zip files could be supported as well.

Just calling the system util would be pretty acceptable I guess..

Added basic gz, bz2 and zip support to master. Needs specs + checking :).

The progress bar is not working for gzipped files, but as the decompressors just dump a single string as stdout, this is not an easy fix, so I've closed this ticket. Specs are also added for gz tgz zip and bz2. We need release notes :)
