[PATCH 3/6] zlib: wrap inflateInit2 used to accept only for gzip format

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date

http-backend.c uses inflateInit2() to tell the library that it wants to accept only gzip format. Wrap it in a helper function so that readers do not have to wonder what the magic numbers 15 and 16 are for.
