With "quality" levels lower than 10, it compresses fast and much more efficiently than lz4.

Done in r22626. Packaging updates:

r22628 for DEB and RPM
r22629 for macos
r22630 for win32

Still TODO (may move to a new ticket):

only use brotli for text: #273
add HTML5 client support: https://github.com/google/brotli/tree/master/js

status changed from assigned to closed
resolution set to fixed

r22643 server side brotli compression of clipboard data
r22644 html5 client support (+r22645 fixup)

Tested using:

XPRA_MIN_CLIPBOARD_COMPRESS_SIZE=1 xpra start -d clipboard

to make it easier to trigger with short plain text cut&paste.

Will follow up in #273.
