[FEA] Configure compression level/speed

[technillogue]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm using nvCOMP to load data from disk to GPU, and don't care about compression but do care about getting the best compression ratio possible.

Describe the solution you'd like
CompressionConfig has settings for each algorithm, for example gdeflate could max_hash_checks and lazy vs greedy matching.

Describe alternatives you've considered
If this is available through the low-level API, better documentation would be helpful.

Hi technillogue,

In the case of GDeflate we do have a "high compression" mode. This is documented in include/nvcomp/gdeflate.h, and was designed for such use cases as yours where compression speed is less of a concern.

We're also considering adding similar modes to zSTD in an upcoming release.

Setting anything but 0 for Gdeflate gives:

Invalid format_opts.algo value (high compression option (1) not currently supported)
Invalid format_opts.algo value (entropy only option (2) not currently supported)

We changed the HLIF for 3.0 to call the LLIF. Now the other algorithms should work for the GDeflate HLIF.
