描述
The gzip file can contain filename and comment which are written like null terminated sequences of bytes. GzipFile ignores filename and comment (only calculates their checksum if needed), but simply searching for the terminating null byte, while reading byte-by-byte, takes time. On my computer, with fast CPU and SSD, reading a gzip file containing 1 GiB filename or comment will take over 5 minutes. This is not a security issue per se, because to trigger it, attacker need to send a large file at first place, but this is not fine.
This issue was discovered during discussion in #149945. The original proposed solution for that issue imposed a limit on the size of filename and comment. While the limit on filename is reasonable (but it can depend on platform?), we cannot be sure that there are no uses cases for large comments.
The following PR uses reading by chunks of growing size. It reads a 1 GiB header in fractions of second.

研究方向
先檢視 GzipFile 對以 null 結尾的檔案名稱欄位和註解欄位的處理方式,然後比較 PR #150145 中提出的分塊讀取方法。當讀取包含很長欄位的標頭不再花費過多時間逐位元組掃描時,即表示完成。
