Prometheus scrape does not support gzip header in GET requests

[st-omarkhalid]

Use Cases

The scraper downloads /metrics as text. There should be an option of adding gzip header. In production we're scraping servers which produce high cardinality metrics with /metrics ranging from 4-13MB across the servers. It would be great to download the metrics as compressed.
