Creates a GzipReader object associated with io. The GzipReader object reads gzipped data from io, and parses/decompresses it. The io must have a read method that behaves same as the IO#read.
The options hash may be used to set the encoding of the data. :external_encoding, :internal_encoding and :encoding may be set as in IO::new.
If the gzip file header is incorrect, raises an Zlib::GzipFile::Error exception.
