feat: use encode gzip for caddy

  Compressing assests would lead to readuce transfer size.
  As testing with frontend-app-learning/Olive, the network traffic
  before was about ~4MB, after this it became ~1MB.

  This change was suggested by Google Lighthouse[1], there are of
  course more suggestion but this was one the easiest and one of most
  impactful.

  Also check orignal PR overhangio/tutor-mfe/pull/64 for more
  info.
