FlatGeobuf input improvements #21

Would you all consider adding support for gzipped FlatGeobuf's just like is possible with GeoJSON's? Compressing FlatGeobuf's reduces the filesize considerably which could be useful for some applications with a large volume of input data

@1papaya I would prefer that instead we implement streaming support for FGB. That would allow you to stream data through a decompressor first and then pipe into tippecanoe. Additionally, it would allow for more efficient alternatives to gzip like LZ4 or ZSTD.
