> Move zipping logic out of blobservice

> Directories given to the blob-service (primarily a use-case for the
> distributed cache) are currently silently zipped, and later unzipped by the
> {{FileCache}}. This tightly coupled the zipping logic in the blob-service to
> the unzipping logic of the {{FileCache}}. The blob-service neither unzipped
> the directory if the blob was requested, nor did it provide any means of
> doing so manually, nor did it inform the user as to whether the requested
> blob is a zip or not.
> My conclusion in is that the blob-service should not support directories _for
> now_, and that instead directories for the {{distributed cache}} should be
> explicitly zipped beforehand, given that this is the only use-case we have at
> the moment.
