The submitBlock API supports optional GZIP compression for the request body.
Right now, the API docs only indicate how to hint at content type (Content-Type: {application/json, application/octet-stream}).
Following the relay implementation from flashbots/mev-boost-relay, it seems the preference is to support the optional header: Content-Encoding with a single allowed value gzip.
The API docs should reflect this so implementers know how to support this feature.
