Allow for more values of windowbits #100

While trying to figure out why Matlab can read its own compressed .mat files that have a missing checksum, I found info that it just doesn't check it and that this can be replicated with zlib with setting the proper negative value of windowbits.
It works when I comment out the check:

if !(8 windowbits 15)
throw(ArgumentError("windowbits must be within 8..15"))
end

but maybe we could just allow other ranges of valid values (or at least the one from -15 to -8)?
