Andy Green c9731c5f17 type comparisons: fixes
This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.

For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.

This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument.  Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.

With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.

From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.

HTTP compression

This directory contains generic compression transforms that can be applied to specifically HTTP content streams, after the header, be it h1 or h2.

The compression transforms expose an "ops" type struct and a compressor name as used by content-encoding... the ops struct definition can be found in ./private-lib-roles-http-compression.h.

Because the compression transform depends on being able to send on its output before it can process new input, the transform adds a new kind of buflist wsi->buflist_comp that represents pre-compression transform data ("input data" from the perspective of the compression transform) that was delivered to be processed but couldn't be accepted.

Currently, zlib 'deflate' and brotli 'br' are supported on the server side.
