34916	Add support for brotli compression	Tom Carrick	nobody	"Now that the BREACH attack is mitigated in the `GZipMiddleware` I wonder if it's time to consider adding brotli support.

I think the best way would be to create a new `CompressionMiddleware` that uses brotli if it's both installed and the client accepts it, otherwise gzip if the client accepts it, and deprecate `GZipMiddleware`.

There is a third party package, [https://github.com/illagrenan/django-brotli django-brotli] but it seems a bit unmaintained. It is out of date - it doesn't support compressing streaming responses as the brotli Python bindings didn't support it, but it now does. It also doesn't have any BREACH mitigation. For mostly this reason I'd like to bring it into core as it's a bit security sensitive and good to have first class support for this."
