docs: add nginx gzip configuration for JSON compression

Browse Source 
Activity index shards compress ~90% with gzip (130 KB → 14 KB).
The default nginx.conf has gzip on but gzip_types commented out,
so JSON was served uncompressed.

### Enable gzip compression
The default `nginx.conf` has gzip on but `gzip_types` commented out, so only
HTML is compressed. Activity index shards are JSON and compress ~90% — enable
the full list:
```bash
# In /etc/nginx/nginx.conf, uncomment the gzip block:
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
```
```bash
nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
```
