The required low-level logic was already available as part of
`libssh2` (via `LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS` `libssh2_session_flag()`[1]
option.)

This patch adds the new `libcurl` option `CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION`
(boolean) and the new `curl` command-line option `--compressed-ssh`
to request this `libssh2` feature. To have compression enabled, it
is required that the SSH server supports a (zlib) compatible
compression method and that `libssh2` was built with `zlib` support
enabled.
