When loading a file that ends in .gz, sirv will set the Content-Encoding header to gzip which means browsers will unzip the content before handing it back to fetch or XMLHttpRequest.
This PR adds a workaround to the asset server that sets the header to a garbage value if a file ending in .gz has been requested.
It's necessary to use a garbage value because sirv sets the headers after the setHeaders function passed to it's config has been invoked, and it will only not set the header if one has been set already.
