This version works with brotli newer than Dec 2016,
optionally using system brotli instead of vendored version
(which this PR puts to good use so there's only one brotli).

@eustas is primary contributor to brotli itself[1]
so this isn't some random fork.

As mentioned in the commit, FreeBSD switched to this fork
for similar reasons Dec 2017.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

This fork is also used by FreeBSD as of Dec 2017:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=455560

We have it use our system copy regardless, but might as well.

(yes, hash does not change, since we don't fetch submodule here)

The current ngx_brotli is very old and has a bug that causes nginx to om nom nom memory on every request in some configurations (such as brotli+ssl+pagespeed):
