Title: Add compression middleware

With gzip no longer activating through alchemist, we need a way to make the compression happen. I'm actually kind of glad that this can be a separate piece of middleware, it feels like it belongs that way.

This guy comes with sort of a "secret option" - while most people want to turn on gzip and have everything compressed (which you can do by passing `gzip: true` as before), you can actually set a threshold for content size, that if exceeded, the content will be gzipped. Pretty nice. You can activate this by passing `{ threshold: 1000 }` to the `gzip` option rather than a boolean.
