This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the underlying source for more data. In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop. This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).
