Description

Compression cannot be enabled with DatadogConfig right now, but we do have the compress method on our abstract Request.Builder for HttpSender. Enabling compression by default seems reasonable and would help avoid the issue of going over the max payload size as mentioned in #1500.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the DatadogConfig interface and add a boolean compression option, then wire it into the HttpSender's request building logic to call compress() when enabled.
