Calling `inflate` on data created from `Pako.deflate` returns `(null, null)`

See original GitHub issue

Some observations that I noted:

`inflate` fails with `(null, null)`

`inflateSync` fails with EOF:

This is probably the most important problem since one would expect either data or an error.

`decompress` works fine:

`deflateSync` : incorrect header check

It appears as though Pako has a different idea of what constitutes inflate / deflate i.e.

`gzipSync`: seems to correspond to `pako.inflate`

I noted that the builtin CompressionStream seems to correlate with what Pako does i.e. 'inflate' algorithm for Pako and CompressionStream seem to be the same.

`zlib`: same as `gzip`

`zip`: fails, same as deflate

Summary

I’ve no idea what’s going on here (and the issues observed may be with Pako), but I hope the above is useful feedback.
