__iter__ method of BZ2File, GzipFile, and LZMAFile is IOBase.__iter__. It calls `readline()` for each line.

Since `readline()` is defined as Python function, it is slower than C iterator. Adding custom __iter__ method that delegates to underlying buffer __iter__ makes `for line in file` 2x faster.

    def __iter__(self):
        self._check_can_read()
        return self._buffer.__iter__()

I think this change is safe.

The behaviors should be exactly the same, except the iterators are different objects (obj vs obj._buffer).
