[Feature] [Hetzner cloud] Please accept server user-data in base64+gzip format

[conrity]

Feature Request

Please accept server user-data in base64+gzip format. Hetzner allow only 32Kb user-data size, which makes impossible to deploy talos generated configs without gzipping (gzip works only with base64).

I use terraform for deploying talos and endcode data with hashicorp/cloudinit provider:

data "cloudinit_config" "cpn" {
  gzip          = true
  base64_encode = true

  # Main cloud-config configuration file.
  part {
    content_type = "text/cloud-config"
    content      = "${data.talos_machine_configuration.cpn.machine_configuration}"
  }

}

Hetzner puts decoded file here:

You can generate your Taos configs with --with-examples=false --with-docs=false

Which should make them fit fine as is

Thank you, I turned off these options in terraform module and I was able to apply the configs. But still, if in the future the size of the generated configs increases a little bit, even these options will not help. We still need base64+gzip support.
