Turn off compression when it makes sense #9

Closed andinus closed 2 years ago

From https://github.com/noledgebin/frontend/issues/2:

According to my tests, it makes sense to turn off compression if
the pasted data is < 72 characters. The test simply was to paste
repeated data and see when (compress + encrypted) length was equal
to (encryption without compression) length.

Before 72 characters, compressing it increased the encrypted
text's length.

This is a breaking change, old pastes won't work if this is merged. But going forward this will help us.
