feat(http): enable gzip + brotli decompression for reqwest clients (#704)

* feat(http): enable gzip + brotli decompression for reqwest clients

All Rust-side HTTP clients now advertise Accept-Encoding and transparently
decode compressed responses. reqwest auto-decompresses by default once the
features are enabled, so this is a pure dependency-feature change with no
call-site edits.

Added to all five reqwest declarations across the Cargo workspace
(top psysonic crate + psysonic-audio / -analysis / -integration / -syncfs).
The real wire savings land on JSON payloads — Navidrome native /api,
Bandsintown, Radio-Browser, Last.fm — measured at roughly -76% to -93% on
earlier curl tests. Crates that only fetch already-compressed audio bytes
get the features too for consistency: reqwest just advertises the header
there, so there's no runtime cost when the server returns data as-is.

Cargo.lock grows additively (async-compression + compression codecs); no
other crates moved.

* docs(changelog): add entry for HTTP gzip + brotli (#704)

 ## Added
 
+### HTTP — gzip + brotli decompression for the Rust-side clients
+
+**By [@Psychotoxical](https://github.com/Psychotoxical), PR [#704](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/pull/704)**
+
+* Every HTTP client on the Rust side now advertises `Accept-Encoding` and transparently decodes compressed responses. The JSON-heavy endpoints — Navidrome native `/api`, Bandsintown, Radio-Browser, Last.fm — were the gap: the WebView's `axios` calls were already compressed, the Rust clients were not. Earlier curl measurements put the wire savings on those payloads at roughly **76–93 %**.
+* Implementation is a dependency-feature change only (`gzip` + `brotli` on `reqwest`) — no behaviour change beyond smaller transfers, and no extra cost on the clients that fetch already-compressed audio.
