x.vweb: add gzip compression support for static files

[davlgd]

Describe the feature

It could be great to be able to use gzip compression method to serve static files.

Use Case

It's now default for web server to serve compressed files, especially for static files. As it seems not to be possible through vweb, it's a downside for this great lib.

Proposed Solution

No response

Other Information

gzip compression is working as expected for dynamically served content, but not for static assets
