Subject: [PATCH] feat(web): enable gzip in the nginx vhost

The prerendered pages are large (the dashboard bakes the full all-time
activity dataset, ~900 KB), so compress text responses on the wire. text/html
is always compressed when gzip is on; the listed gzip_types also cover the JS
bundle, CSS, SVG icons, and (via gzip_proxied any) the JSON from the /api/
upstream. The home page drops to ~90 KB on the wire. woff2 is pre-compressed
and intentionally omitted.
