Markus Unterwaditzer 00e4cb7a75 Compress the web frontend using brotli
We can save 10 kB of binary size by compressing the frontend using
brotli on max settings instead of gzip. Any browser beyond 2017 will be
able to handle this, and since the Tailwind upgrade we already require
browsers from 2024. (see also #903)

Also we can stop using whatever gzlip cli is on the system, node has
some stuff builtin.

Source for the claim we require chrome 2023/firefox 2024 baseline right
now: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/compatibility
