These funtions have an initial output buffer size parameter:
If the initial size > UINT32_MAX, use an UINT32_MAX sliding window, instead of clamping to UINT32_MAX.
Speed up when (the initial size == the actual size).
This fixes a memory consumption and copying performance regression in earlier 3.10 beta releases if someone used an output buffer larger than 4GiB with zlib.decompress.
