GELF Decoder does not follow specification #1834

Chunking, and most importantly, compression (gzip/zlib) is not implemented. That's problematic (at least for me) because the sources send compressed output.

Also, it took me quite a while to figure out what was the problem, as Heka does not output any helpful errors. (You can get at least an error when using the MultiDecoder around another decoder, but it isn't very specific)

@tino I have an open PR to address these problems: https://github.com/mozilla-services/heka/pull/1924. Please try it out and let me know what you think.
