feat: streamig compression #53

@geolffreym

Description

@geolffreym

We can improve bandwidth consumption using Gzip or Broli compression for streaming.

"Applying compression at a stream level can lead to significant performance improvements and a more efficient use of bandwidth compared to other compression strategies in P2P networking protocols. In some cases, and depending on factors such as the compression algorithm and the file format, the bandwidth savings can reach up to 50%! And this is how our compression RFC landed in libp2p."

Its possible activate this feature using a configuration flag.
