Consider support for other compression formats #84

@jcushman

Description

@jcushman

The #60 gzip issue noted it would be ideal to handle .bz2, .xz, .zst, etc as well as gz and zip. This needs research -- our current policy is to put a few standard formats in core and heavy third-party-dep formats in optional plugins, which can be installed with binoc[all]. Perhaps we could have a binoc-decompression plugin with a kitchen sink of common formats; I'm not sure if it would make sense to demote or normalize any of our current compressed-file-and-folder support, or if there are other formats that are common and trivial to move to core, or what the right balance of in-core and out-of-core decompression support is.
