I changed the logic a bit. 

There is now a `server_gzipped: true` flag in the metadata, so the download knows if  the server gzipped a plain GPX.

The user still gets a plain GPX either way. If their client accepts gzip, the server sends the gzip and the client unzips it. If not, the server unzips it first.

And the CPU usage already happens today when clients request data.gpx, because the server unzips every file requested with .gpx.
