Implement gzipped version of the API for fetching games and categories to reduce traffic. #47

The outgoing bandwidth limit of 1GB / day was maxed out with the release of LiveSplit. A compressed version of the games and categories should greatly reduce traffic.

Came up with an alternative solution: just posted static JSON to my Dropbox account and put the links in the error messages received when attempting to fetch categories or gamelist from ASUP.
