compress/flate: deprecate ReadError and WriteError

A vast majority of the time, ReadError isn't even returned during
IO operations. Instead, an unwrapped error will be returned because
of the ReadByte call on L705. Because DEFLATE streams are primarily
compressed and require byte for byte Huffman decoding, most of the
data read from a data stream will go through ReadByte.

Although this is technically an API change, any user reliant on
this error would not have worked properly anyways due to the fact
that most IO error are not wrapped. We might as well deprecate
ReadError. It is useless and actually makes clients that do
depend on catching IO errors more difficult.

Fixes #11856
Fixes #12724
