Handling of files of unknown size is currently limited. They can't be

used e.g. for initrd or modules. Moreover gzip handling of not
	easily seekable files is buggy. Disable unknown file size for now. May
	be inefficient but works.

	* grub-core/io/gzio.c (test_header): Always retrieve the file size.
	* grub-core/io/xzio.c (grub_xzio_open): Likewise.
