Is your feature request related to a problem?
The built in directory send support in the Wormhole implementation uses .zip for directories and has to save it to a local file both when sending and receiving. This can be problematic as in #93 when the file is stored in memory and thte file size is larger than the available memory and can also be a performance bottleneck.
Describe the solution you'd like to see.
Provide an option to select a Directory transfer mode with a choice of either Compatability (standard) or Streaming. Choosing the latter should pop up a warning saying that other clients and older Rymdport versions only will get a .tar.gz file that has to be extracted manually. This option should then send the directory as a regular file send and automaticlly extract files of the same type (we need something more than just looking at the filetype there).
The implementation can likely use https://github.com/rymdport/archive. We should evaluate if it is faster to use Zstandard or Gzip for compression (for the latter, pgzip will likely be the fastest).
