bootm: improve error message when gzip decompression buffer is too small

Currently, when decompressing a gzip-compressed image during bootm, a
generic error such as "inflate() returned -5" is shown when the buffer is
too small. However, it is not immediately clear that this is caused by
CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN being too small.

This patch improves error handling by:
- Detecting Z_BUF_ERROR (-5) returned from the inflate() call
- Suggesting the user to increase CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN when applicable
- Preserving the original return code from zunzip() instead of overwriting
  it with -1

By providing clearer hints when decompression fails due to insufficient
buffer size, this change helps users diagnose and fix boot failures more
easily.
