[issue12646] zlib.Decompress.decompress/flush do not raise any exceptions when given truncated input streams

Looking at Lib/test/test_zlib.py, it appears that this behaviour is intentional
(see issue8672). I agree that having flush() raise an exception is the Right
Thing, but breaking existing code (which we know depends on this behavior) is
clearly a bad idea. @pitrou - anything thoughts on this?
