Decompress filter

[ruiaraujo]

Skipper supports compressing responses which allows backend system like NodeJS to delegate CPU intensive work to the ingress. Ideally this could be also supported on the request side.

Describe the solution you would like
A new filter named decompress that would decompress the request body.

Describe alternatives you've considered (optional)
Skipper doesn't support the filter and the backend is responsible for decompressing the request body

Would you like to work on it?
Yes, if I would like if I find the time

Sgtm, I assigned you to make sure we know in the issue listings.

this is a documentation issue. The filter exists: https://godoc.org/github.com/zalando/skipper/filters/builtin#NewDecompress

But the documentation is missing from here: https://opensource.zalando.com/skipper/reference/filters/

Sorry, for the confusion. Will fix it.
