Add methods for determining the approx. (de)compressed size #11

Closed Quintus closed 6 years ago

It looks as if liblzma has functions that estimate how large the uncompressed data of a compressed archive is, and how large a compressed archive of a given amount of uncompressed data is going to be. These should be made accessible by this binding.

This turns out to be nontrivial as liblzma only provides internal APIs for this. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2171775/how-to-get-the-uncompressed-size-of-an-lzma2-file-xz-liblzma

Thus, this will not be implemented.
