Decompresses string using LZW algorithm.

Please remember that the LZW algorithm can be implemented quite different. This one is byte based, uses 12bit offsets and a 4096 entry table.

Returns "" on low memory or Stack Overlow or Output buffer overlow.
(buffer and stack size may be increased on request for future plugin versions)

Size of the uncompressed length is only a guess for how big the output buffer needs to be. Actual string returned will often be smaller.
