partimage can't restore a compressed image from stdin

Bug Description

Binary package hint: partimage

If you restore from stdin, CImageDisk::getCompressionLevelForImage returns COMPRESS_NONE regardless of whether the input is compressed or not. The result is a failed restore and the misleading error message "stdin.000 is not a valid partition image file"

This was tested in 0.6.7, there is more discussion at http://www.partimage.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=819
