Decompress does not limit how many bytes it writes to the buffer.
This means that we will lose any byte present before the call, which is not a problem when we decompress all in one go, but is annoying when we want to use the buffer as a ring buffer.
So I added a decompress_with_limit which takes a maximum number of bytes to decompress. With it, it is possible to use the output buffer as a ring buffer, just don't overwrite bytes that have not yet been consumed.
