Title: ENH: .fif.gz support

Addresses #136. I added tests to make sure it works, looks like it does. Haven't benchmarked it yet, but it should at least be useful for those of us trying to save hard drive space.

Two potential issues:
1) Test IO of inverse solutions takes much longer on my laptop now. We could just omit those tests since the others pass.
2) I added some .gz files as test cases that I had manually compressed on the command-line. We can remove these if necessary, as I know @agramfort might not be happy about the additional megabytes.
