Development server should support/use compression? #1184

i.e. GZip or Brotli.

The reason for this is that often Dart2JS can GZip quite well, but you don't see the benefit of it until you deploy to a server that supports it. I (believe?) pub serve supported this.

For local development we did some tests and found it actually slows things down - but if developing remotely it can be beneficial. I think this should be opt-in, but is reasonable to have an option for.

It would also be useful to be able to run pagespeed tests with the gzipped version of your app during development.
