Support for gzip at the server #424

Discussion offline leads me to conclude that doing this would be bad idea.

The basic problem is with 2->1.1 translation at intermediaries.  While
the HTTP/2 request might include a Content-Length, the gateway is
going to be forced to decompress and buffer the entire request body
before forwarding to a 1.1 server.

This doesn't seem like a good outcome.  Maybe this is something to
defer to the version of HTTP/x that ships when most of the world is
already using HTTP/2.
