[issue13781] gzip module does the wrong thing with an os.fdopen()'ed fileobj

thanks that looks good.

As far as fixing this for 2.7 goes, i don't like the _sound_ of it because it is gross... But i'm actually okay with having special case code in the gzip module that rejects '<fdopen>' as an actual filename and uses '' instead in that case.  It is VERY unlikely that anyone ever intentionally wants to use that as a filename.

Anything more than that (changing the actual '<fdopen>' string for example) seems too invasive and might break someone's doctests and does genuinely make it more difficult to see what a fdopened file object is from its repr.
