#SoupContentDecoder handles adding the "Accept-Encoding" header on
outgoing messages, and processing the "Content-Encoding" header on
incoming ones. Currently it supports the "gzip", "deflate", and "br"
content codings.
If #SoupContentDecoder successfully decodes the Content-Encoding,
the message body will contain the decoded data; however, the message headers
will be unchanged (and so "Content-Encoding" will still be present,
"Content-Length" will describe the original encoded length, etc).
If "Content-Encoding" contains any encoding types that
#SoupContentDecoder doesn't recognize, then none of the encodings
will be decoded.
(Note that currently there is no way to (automatically) use
Content-Encoding when sending a request body, or to pick specific
encoding types to support.)
