Add more functions to CompressedResource
Previously, the CompressedResource interface was added, to possibly stream resources in their original compressed format, to avoid having to decompress responses server-side before sending to the client.
This PR adds the ReadCompressed function to that interface, so that resources are not just streamed, but can also be read as a []byte in compressed form.
It also now adds GZIP versions of the stream/read functions directly in the toolkit, to make sending responses to clients that do not support deflate possible. This is particularly useful when placing the server behind a CDN like Cloudflare, that does not send deflate in its accept-encoding header.
