#1281: Documentation inconsistency wrt gzip

Comment (by martin):
The http_gzip_support part is wrong. This should say that when
http_gzip_support is true, Varnish will default to always asking the
backend for compressed content, and will automatically decompress content
for clients which don't grok gzip. It can then also compress uncompressed
content from the backend, but will only do so if do_gzip is set to true
from vcl in the context of that request.
For the bonus question: req.can_gzip is a read-only variable. It will
check the current client headers if they support gzip. So the correct way
is to alter/remove Accept-Encoding.
