Add Brotli Support

[arlllk]

Add the capability to use Brotli in the reverse proxy as a compression option. The official nginx module repository is currently active

Has anybody come up with a fork or workaround to add brotli?

Notes for anyone considering adding this:

• The base docker image uses OpenResty and exists in this project and extensions are defined here. You'll need to open a PR there for this first
• The UI should to have a switch to enable Compression and then select between gzip and brotli (if I understand this correctly)
• This compression setting would need to be stored in the database and would require a new migration file
• The proxy host nginx template exists here and would need to know about the compression choice.

Hi. I'm currently trying to work on it, but I'm new to these.
So,from what I can tell, Brotli support needs to be added upstream, which I opened a PR for that.
However, I'm not good at databases nor at frontend. And I guess it's safe to just leave brotli on as default.
It's should just work if you put brotli on; in the nginx.conf.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Sorry for any grammer mistakes or misspelling. My English is poor.

Any update on this? Happy to see if someone is willing to take the leap and move forward with the implementation ?
