bug#69004: Cannot open lzip-compressed info manuals |

Hello.
I'm using GNU Emacs 29.2 on a Gentoo Linux system.
On this system, all info manuals are compressed with lzip and have a .lz
suffix.
When running M-x info and opening any info manual (e.g. the info manual
for bash), I get error messages similar to the following one:
> Info file `bash' does not exist; consider installing it
In reality the info manual for bash is available on my system:
$ file /usr/share/info/bash.info.lz
/usr/share/info/bash.info.lz: lzip compressed data, version: 1
In info.el source code there is no instance of either "lzip" or "lz".
In particular, there is no lzip-related entry in the Info-suffix-list
variable definition.
In my opinion it would be nice to add support for lzip-compressed info
manuals to M-x info.
