add compression #54

Hi,

This QRcode paper backup solution looks pretty good, the data density is better than most out there, is development still happening on this?

My idea for a new feature would be compression. I normally would use 7z LZMA2 level: Ultra on any text before backing it up somewhere. Adding in a compression feature before turning into a QRcode would be be nice and save a step and hopefully stuff even more data per sheet.

Thank you for you work, I hope the windows port on the roadmap happens.

qr-backup is currently in "maintenance mode"--I'm fixing bugs but all major features are complete. At this point my main next steps would be packaging for linux and porting to phone, windows, osx, etc. I don't have that immediately planned but help is always welcome!

Compression is already done before backup.

    --compress, --no-compress
        This gives a more compact backup, but partial recovery is impossible.
        Default: compressed
