Drop actix-web compression features - #228

Conversation
The operator serves GET /health and /metrics only, so it never needs request decompression. Without the default compress-* features the Brotli, zstd and gzip decoders are no longer linked in, which takes the binary out of scope for Brotli decoder advisories such as CVE-2026-111497.

The operator only serves
GET /healthand/metrics(plus/readyand/in restate-operator), and it never reads a request body. Even so, actix-web's default features link in request decompression for Brotli, gzip and zstd.This change turns off the default features and keeps only
macros. Without the decoders in the binary, it is no longer in scope for Brotli decoder advisories such as CVE-2026-111497. The operator was not reachable through that bug before this change, because no handler reads a body.The lockfile diff only removes packages (
brotli,brotli-decompressor,zstd*,cookie,h2and their dependencies). No dependency versions change.Checks: fmt, clippy with
-D warnings, and the test suite all pass.
