fix(lib): compress peer listings and reject a bad zlib checksum

A browse or folder listing and a search reply went out as zlib "stored"
blocks, so a big share cost every browser its full uncompressed size,
and the inflater ignored the adler32 trailer, so corrupt data passed.
Listings now deflate through a fixed-Huffman encoder over an LZ77 match
finder, which shrinks a listing's repeated path prefixes to about a
tenth, and a stream whose trailer does not match is refused. No crate:
the encoder is a hundred lines beside the inflater it feeds, and the
inflater is named for what it does.
