Add new "Allow Compression" option for OpenVPN 2.5.0. Defaults to asymmetric (Decompress incoming packets, do not compress outgoing packets) for a more secure and smooth transition to disabling compression entirely.
Rearrange compression options so that the options to disable (or not actively use) compression are first.
Disable compression for new instances, upgraded instances will use asymmetric mode.
Mark compression option as Deprecated (per the OpenVPN documentation)
