search: add support for searching compressed files

Browse Source

This commit adds opt-in support for searching compressed files during
recursive search. This behavior is only enabled when the
`-z/--search-zip` flag is passed to ripgrep. When enabled, a limited set
of common compression formats are recognized via file extension, and a
new process is spawned to perform the decompression. ripgrep then
searches the stdout of that spawned process.

Closes #539
