MEDIUM: compression: add new "raw-deflate" compression algorithm

This algorithm is exactly the same as "deflate" without the zlib wrapper,
and used as an alternative when the browser wants "deflate". All major
browsers understand it and despite violating the standards, it is known
to work better than "deflate", at least on MSIE and some versions of
Safari. Do not use it in conjunction with "deflate", use either one or
the other since both react to the same Accept-Encoding token. Note that
the lack of Adler32 checksum makes it slightly faster.

The currently supported algorithms are :

the compression feature. Identity does not apply any change on
data.

deflate same as gzip, but with deflate algorithm and zlib format.
Note that this algorithm has ambiguous support on many browsers
and no support at all from recent ones. It is strongly
recommended not to use it for anything else than experimentation.

Compression will be activated depending on the Accept-Encoding request
header. With identity, it does not take care of that header.
