Accept gzip

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using Special:Export from a web browser on a fast site, I notice I can 
download at over 30 Mb/s on my 10 Mb/s connection. I assume it's due to gzip 
compression, but I'm not sure the script itself uses it (we definitely must).

This looks rather handy: https://derrickpetzold.com/p/python-gzip-http/
However, it's supported by default in Requests...
