Automatic native suffix #28

Since lrzip is mostly a preprocessor for standard compression formats it would be easier for clients to decompress the end-result if the compressor would automatically attach the suffix of whatever the final compression format is.

The end result would not be usable by standard decompression. The header alone would break gzip or bzip or other decompression methods. lrzip -i would show file compression method. and lrzip -d would decompress using the appropriate decompression method.
