Description

The response we sent is sometimes fairly large. Sometimes it's greater than 300KiB. We could save quite a bit of bandwidth by compressing it.
- Recognize `accept-encoding` HTTP header and compress the response on the fly.
- Support gzip, deflate and brotli
- Cache the compressed result if possible.

This will require the work on the Armeria side first.

Research direction

Start by investigating the required Armeria-side work, since the issue identifies it as a prerequisite. Then trace how Central Dogma sends HTTP responses and determine where Accept-Encoding handling, gzip/deflate/brotli support, and compressed-result caching belong. Done means responses larger than 300 KiB are compressed according to the header and the compressed result is cached when possible.
