Currently Alternator supports compressed requests in the gzip format with "Content-Encoding: gzip". We did not support any other compression formats. It turns out that DynamoDB also supports the "deflate" encoding. The "deflate" format is just a small variant of gzip and also supported by the same zlib library that we already use, so it is very easy to add support for it as well. So this patch adds it. Beyond compatibility with DynamoDB, another benefit of this patch is symmetry with our response compression support (PR #27454), where we supported both gzip and deflate compression of responses - so we should support the same for requests. This patch also adds tests for Content-Encoding: deflate, which pass on DynamoDB (proving that "deflate" is indeed supported there). On Alternator the new tests failed before this patch and pass with this patch. Refs #27243 (which asks to support more compression formats).

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.
