This pull request introduces HTTP response compression to Alternator, allowing responses (both string and chunked) to be compressed using `gzip` or `deflate` when requested by clients and when the response size exceeds configurable thresholds. * Added new source files `http_compression.cc` and `http_compression.hh` implementing compression logic, including parsing client `Accept-Encoding` headers, selecting compression algorithms, and compressing response bodies using zlib. * Added two new configuration options to `db::config` (`alternator_response_gzip_compression_level` and `alternator_response_gzip_compression_threshold_in_bytes`) to control compression level (and optionally disable compression with level 0 - no compression) and minimum response size for compression. * Added tests showing compliance with DynamoDB behavior. Fixes #27246 New feature - no backporting Closes scylladb/scylladb#27454 * github.com:scylladb/scylladb: alternator/http_compression: Add compression of streamed response alternator/http_compression: Add implementation od gzip/deflate of string response alternator/http_compression: Add handling of Accept-Encoding header test/alternator: add tests for compressed responses

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
