Python: Support streamed compression with the Compressor object (#448)
This adds `flush` and `finish` methods to the `Compressor`
object in the extension module, renames the `compress` method to
`process`, and updates that method to only process data. Now,
one or more `process` calls followed by a `finish` call will be
equivalent to a module-level `compress` call.
Note: To maximize the compression efficiency (and match
underlying Brotli behavior, the `Compressor` object `process`
method does not guarantee all input is immediately written to
output. To ensure immediate output, call `flush` to manually
flush the compression buffer. Extraneous flushing can increase
the size, but may be required when processing streaming data.
Progress on #191
