cargo check --no-default-features fails

[ch3pjw]

Running cargo check --no-default-features fails on the latest tag (v0.34.1) and on master (467b6c0, 7 commits after the v0.34.1 tag).

My use case for --no-default-features is that I want to use just the mysql_common data types in a library to expose to other crates. Looking at Cargo.toml I don't think I can use --no-default-features and then enable flate2 manually to make this go away.

It looks like an issue with the flate dependency:

Hi. This requires moving Compresison into an optional feature (at the moment it's not).

I don't think I would be able to do it in the nearest future because of a trip, so feel free to file a PR.
We also have #38 as a compression-related issue

[ch3pjw]

Just mentioning for completeness: Having dug a bit more I can see that running cargo check --no-default-features --features=flate2/zlib will at least allow the removal of the default derive feature.

I will have a look what's required to make compression optional and how easy it would be to integrate zstd.
