Compress file downloads if the client sends "Accept-Encoding: gzip" and we guess the file might compress alright
Summary:
Ref T13507. We currently compress normal responses, but do not compress file data responses because most files we serve are images and already compressed.
However, there are some cases where large files may be highly compressible (e.g., huge XML files stored in LFS) and we can benefit from compressing responses.
Make a reasonable guess about whether compression is beneficial and enable compression if we guess it is.
Test Plan:
- Used `curl ...` to download an image with `Accept-Encoding: gzip`. Got raw image data in the response (as expected, because we don't expect images to be worthwhile to recompress).
- Used `curl ...` to download a text file with `Accept-Encoding: gzip`. Got a compressed response. Decompressed the response into the original file.
