Support WOFF2

Summary
Support WOFF2

At Adobe Typekit we've seen a significant compression increase by serving web fonts in the WOFF2 format instead of the WOFF format. The increase is on average 28%. This allows us to deliver web fonts faster and reduce network traffic at the same time. It would be great if WebKit could implement support for WOFF2 as well. Chrome, Firefox, and Opera already support WOFF2. WOFF2 specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF2/
Reference implementation:
https://github.com/google/woff2
Implementing WOFF2 also opens up the door to using Brotli as a standalone general purpose compression algorithm.

WOFF2 is supported by a number of other browsers; it would be a huge performance benefit (and a big step in supporting better web typography) to have this implemented.
