4.93.0 - Advanced ETag Comparison now supported

What's Changed

Advanced ETag Comparison now supported by @linus-hologram in #3015

Vapor now supports strong (byte-by-byte) ETag validation and caches ETags for rapid responses. This provides a stronger alternative to the current weak comparison, which only guarantees semantic file equivalence. This new strong comparison is enabled by default and can be deactivated during FileMiddleware initialization if needed. This PR closes #2948.

• streamFile method was deprecated and replaced by an alternative returning an EventLoopFuture
• vapor’s unit tests were updated to reflect the changes
• documentation was updated to reflect the changes
