Bug#914388: Add gzip compression for json mimetype

[Stéphane Blondon]

Package: apache2
Version: 2.4.25
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Web services get often data in JSON format. The size can be important
but is compressed efficiently because it's text.
So it would be nice to enable the compression with mod_deflate:

--- /etc/apache2/mods-available/deflate.conf    2017-09-19
20:56:09.000000000 +0200
+++ deflate.conf        2018-11-22 22:10:54.550445644 +0100
