WebSocket compression

Chrome 32 (currently Chrome Canary) will ship with support for permessage-deflate and i think this would make for a great Mojolicious feature.

Basic support shouldn't be too hard to implement, it could be handled transparently in Mojo::Transaction::WebSocket and doesn't require new APIs. More advanced features like configurable window size are optional and can be added as optimizations later on.
