PostgreSQL disabled compression as of e3bdb2d and the documentation recommends against using it since. Additionally, SSL compression has been disabled in OpenSSL since version 1.1.0, and was disabled in many distributions long before that. The most recent TLS version, TLSv1.3, disallows compression at the protocol level. This commit removes the feature itself, removing support for the libpq parameter sslcompression (parameter still listed for compatibility reasons with existing connection strings, just ignored), and removes the equivalent field in pg_stat_ssl and de facto PgBackendSSLStatus. Note that, on top of removing the ability to activate compression by configuration, compression is actively disabled in both frontend and backend to avoid overrides from local configurations. A TAP test is added for deprecated SSL parameters to check after backwards compatibility. Bump catalog version.
