feat: added snappy compression support

[m0lc14kk]

Added support for snappy compression algorithm.

Compression is provided by snappy package, which is lightweight and the fastest way to use this type of compression.

This is alright, but the problem is that it's a C++ library and we'd like to move away from requiring any native dependencies at all to avoid needing to install a bunch of native build tools and other complexity that comes along with it. A pure JS or WASM solution would be more ideal, but we can offer a native option too ideally just not a required dep in package.json (like how we support different raknet backends).

okay, so if I would use a pure JS snappy solution and use it in bedrock-protocol, you would be okay with it and applied it to the next version?

I just found snappyjs minified file, which bedrock-protocol can use to handle snappy compressions

what do you think about copying this minified file or maybe just using this dependency?

[extremeheat]

Yes, you can try https://www.npmjs.com/package/snappyjs. Adding a test would be good.

I just added a small test and changed the library, you can tell me if that's enough to add this to bedrock-protocol.

CI is failing

And for the test you can update one of the internal server tests to set snappy as the compressor
