There's a sketchy line about errno in the gz(d)open docs: "On error,
gzopen() *may* set the global variable errno to indicate the error."
(emphasis mine).  This suggests we should set errno to 0 before the
calls to gz(d)open above.

Will this lead to a silent exit failure if there's a problem with
decompression?  This suggests we should have a UTIL_GZERROR that tells
the caller to consult gzerror for the error message.  (Though this is
still an improvement over the original code, which would silently
succeed when getline failed!)

It looks like a gz_getline error here will cause restore to stop and
claim that the restore was successful.  (The original code has this
problem, too.)
