[3.10] Add server capability to check for Brotli compressed static fi…

…les (#8160)

Currently server only checks if static routes have a `.gz` extension and
serves them with `gzip` encoding. These changes do the same for `.br`
files with `br` encoding. Brotli is prioritized over gzip if both exist
and are supported by the client, as it should almost always be a smaller
content length.

I considered making a check for which is smaller if both exist, but
figured it wouldn't be worth the extra file system call in the vast
majority of cases (at least not for typical web formats). Users should
simply use gzip if it's smaller than Brotli for any file.

Resolves #8062
