jka-compr.el doesn't recognise .svgz.~1~ or .sifz files as being gzipped

[Chris Moore]

Emacs knows that .svgz is a gzipped version of .svg and gunzips it on
the fly.  It doesn't know the same for .svgz.~1~ or .svgz~ (backup
files).  It also doesn't know anything about .sifz files being gzipped
.sif files ( http://synfig.org/ creates these).

I brought this up in September 2007 (Subject: jka-compr.el doesn't
recognise gzipped files from their magic bytes), but was suggesting
that gzipped-ness should be detected based on file content rather than
filename, to which Eli Zaretskii replied:

> I say, as long as we need to add a few more extensions, let's do that

and then a bunch of other people talked back and forth about it and
nothing got done.

So here's a patch for both problems, based on the filenames:

*** jka-cmpr-hook.el.~1.22.~    2008-01-17 09:46:16.000000000 +0100
--- jka-cmpr-hook.el    2008-01-24 09:57:09.000000000 +0100

       "uncompressing"      "gzip"         ("-c" "-q" "-d")
       t nil "\037\213"]

and uuencoded:

Why aren't they matched against file-name-sans-versions?
