[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Compress plain GPX uploads with gzip (PR #7124)

yeah, a custom uploader that stores the file on S3 with `Content-Encoding: gzip` makes more sense. I was trying to reuse the same upload path to keep the PR simple, but now that you point it out, the custom uploader is the better way.

The download side gets simpler too. If the client accepts gzip, we redirect to S3 and  it will server the file, so the app stays out of the way. If a client doesn't support gzip, the server unzips it and sends it plain. The server already does that today when someone asks for /data.gpx, so it's not new behavior, 

For the old files, once the new compression is running, we could add a background job that takes each plain GPX, gzips it, and re-uploads it with `Content-Encoding: gzip`.  but that is for other PR.
