build: disable v8 snapshot compression by default

In the upstream, V8 also disables snapshot compression on the
desktop by default because the size reduction is not worth the
performance hit.
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/3275554

Locally the binary size of Node.js is increased by ~2.7MB
(+3.2%) with a significant speedup in startup after snapshot
compression is disabled on macOS.

Also adds a --v8-enable-snapshot-compression to configure.py for
users who prefer a size reduction over speedup in startup.
Ideally we should implement our own compression for the source
code + the code cache + the snapshot instead of relying on V8's
builtin compression for just the snapshot.
