RFR: 7036144: GZIPInputStream readTrailer uses faulty available() test for end-of-stream [v7]

> `GZIPInputStream`, when looking for a concatenated stream, relies on what the underlying `InputStream` says is how many bytes are `available()`. But this is inappropriate because `InputStream.available()` is just an estimate and is allowed (for example) to always return zero.
> 
> The fix is to ignore what's `available()` and just proceed and see what happens. If fewer bytes are available than required, the attempt to extend to another stream is canceled just as it was before, e.g., when the next stream header couldn't be read.
