Enable gzip compression to reduce bandwidth consumption

changes/changelog.d/front-performance.enhancement

+Improved front-end performance by stripping unused dependencies, reducing bundle size
+and enabling gzip compression
+
+Enable gzip compression [manual action suggested]
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Gzip compression will be enabled on new instances by default
+and will reduce the amount of bandwidth consumed by your instance.
+
+If you with to benefit from gzip compression on your instance,
+edit your reverse proxy virtualhost file (located at ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf``) and add the following snippet
+in the server block, then reload your nginx server::
+

+        # ... exiting configuration

+        # compression settings
+        gzip on;
