Title: HTTP Content Encoder allow EmptyLastHttpContent

Motiviation:
The HttpContentEncoder does not account for a EmptyLastHttpContent being provided as input. This is useful in situations where the client is unable to determine if the current content chunk is the last content chunk (i.e. a proxy forwarding content when transfer encoding is chunked).

Modifications:
- HttpContentEncoder should not attempt to compress empty HttpContent objects

Result:
HttpContentEncoder supports a EmptyLastHttpContent to terminate the response.
