Phillip Lougher daeb6b6fbe bzip2/lzma/gzip: fix comments describing decompressor API
Fix and improve comments in decompress/generic.h that describe the
decompressor API.  Also remove an unused definition, and rename INBUF_LEN
in lib/decompress_inflate.c to conform to bzip2/lzma naming.

/* inbuf - input buffer
*len - len of pre-read data in inbuf
*fill - function to fill inbuf when empty
*flush - function to write out outbuf
*outbuf - output buffer
*posp - if non-null, input position (number of bytes read) will be
* returned here
*
*If len != 0, inbuf should contain all the necessary input data, and fill
*should be NULL
*If len = 0, inbuf can be NULL, in which case the decompressor will allocate
*the input buffer. If inbuf != NULL it must be at least XXX_IOBUF_SIZE bytes.
*fill will be called (repeatedly...) to read data, at most XXX_IOBUF_SIZE
*bytes should be read per call. Replace XXX with the appropriate decompressor
*name, i.e. LZMA_IOBUF_SIZE.
*
*If flush = NULL, outbuf must be large enough to buffer all the expected
*output. If flush != NULL, the output buffer will be allocated by the
*decompressor (outbuf = NULL), and the flush function will be called to
*flush the output buffer at the appropriate time (decompressor and stream
*dependent).
