Add liquid tags for GZIP generated files

[ixti]

I tend to close this issue in favor of filters. At least in for of {% asset_path foobar .gz %} it seems to add more confusions than solutions. The only acceptable syntax I see is:

{% stylesheet app gzip:true %}

If there would be more requests, or a good use case (I don't see a lot of profit having this as part of the core feature) I'll consider implementing this.

Good point. My idea was to get gzipped files running with Amazon Cloudfront, but in the end I could not get it working in a nice workflow. For Amazon AWS/S3 to work, the proper headers need to be set on each file upload separately, whereas nginx/Apache can handle that with a global config, which is way more easy.

Using nginx with success now. Thanks for looking into it.
