Implement the compression entity header as defined in PLATO-UVIE-PL-UM-0001 for compression and decompression

The compressed data should be prefixed by a compression header that contains the metadata required for decompression. The .info file is not needed in this case and can be omitted. The header should be deactivated with a --no_header flag, in which case the .info file (containing the needed information for decompression) should be created.
