souphttpsrc: Always use the content decoder but set Accept-Encoding: identity if no compression should be used

Some servers respond with gzip-encoded responses regardless of whether the request allowed it to be used in the response. By always having the content decoder enabled, these invalid responses can be decoded correctly while for well-behaving servers the compress property selects between allowing compressed responses or not.

Fixes #833 (closed)
