This patch adds a new document, docs/alternator/network.md,
explaining the various mechanisms that can be used to reduce
network usage in Alternator. It explains compression of requests
and responses, header reduction, rack-aware routing, and RPC compression.
Many of these topics - especially support in the client libraries -
are work in progress, so some details are still missing in the new
document. Still, I think it is a good start that can be improved
later.
Fixes#27915.
