Description
There are more modern compression algorithms which I'd like to see supported by this extension such as:
- [ ] Snappy
- [ ] Zstd
- [ ] Brotli
All have different tradeoffs and work better for different kinds of data.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the extension's existing column-compression implementation and its PostgreSQL integration, then assess how Snappy, Zstd, and Brotli could be supported and tested. Done means the requested compression methods are supported for columns with appropriate coverage for their different tradeoffs.
