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.
