[MoBP] Deflate support
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite has always been able to unpack GZIP-encoded responses but never supported deflate encoding, which appears occasionally in the wild. A new release adds native deflate support, replacing the workaround of Joe Hemler's plugin, and the Decoder may also be updated to unpack deflate-encoded content if time permits.
Why it matters: Deflate-encoded responses that Burp previously left packed could hide what a scanner or tester was meant to inspect, so teams relying on the tool should confirm they are on the release that handles this encoding natively.
