Use gzip transfer encoding for SVG files from MediaWiki static assets

Description

See also bug T56291 for related config for upload.wikimedia.org.

We're using more and more little SVG files for style effects and icons used in MediaWiki client-side code; when not directly embedded in CSS these get loaded as static files off of bits.wikimedia.org and by default are not compressed, for example http://bits.wikimedia.org/static-1.23wmf13/extensions/CirrusSearch/cirrus-beta.svg on the beta features page.

While these are often not huge, they do compress very well (as XML source) and it'd be nice to auto-compress them on the wire.

Responses to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/CirrusSearch/resources/images/cirrus-beta-ltr.svg and https://en.wikipedia.org/static/current/extensions/CirrusSearch/resources/images/cirrus-beta-ltr.svg both have G-Zip enabled.

This bug was probably specific to bits.wikimedia.org but obsolete since T95448 and T99096.
