Make HAProxy set the `Vary: Accept-Encoding` response header if it compressed
the server response.
Technically the `Vary` header SHOULD also be set for responses that would
normally be compressed based off the current configuration, but are not due
to a missing or invalid `Accept-Encoding` request header or due to the
maximum compression rate being exceeded.
Not setting the header in these cases does no real harm, though: An
uncompressed response might be returned by a Cache, even if a compressed
one could be retrieved from HAProxy. This increases the traffic to the end
user if the cache is unable to compress itself, but it saves another
roundtrip to HAProxy.

A small issue remains: The User-Agent is not added to the `Vary` header,
despite being relevant to the response. Adding the User-Agent header would
make responses effectively uncacheable and it's unlikely to see a Mozilla/4
in the wild in 2019.
Add a reg-test to ensure the behaviour as described in this commit message.
see issue #121
Should be backported to all branches with compression (i.e. 1.6+).
