Contributor guide

Research direction
Read the discussion in issue #1149 for context. Then, study the existing HTTP publishing code in nsqd (likely in `nsqd/http.go`) to understand how to add support for Snappy and/or Deflate decompression of request bodies. Reference the compression implementation already used for TCP connections in the nsqio/nsq library.
