Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see why it's difficult to store
the metadata in plain text. In fact, isn't it necessary to store it in plain
text in case we use a special compression codec? Otherwise we can't even
determine the correct codec to decode the rest of the file. Can we do something
like the following:
Keep doing `readline()` until we the line equals the header end marker. We
treat all the lines read so far as metadata in the form `k=v`, which we can
just split on `=`. Then, as soon as we read the header end marker, we stop and
pass the input stream to `ReplayListenerBus#replay`, wrapping it in a
compression stream if necessary.
