[Maps] Use content-encoding header from ES for mvt response (#130417)

* Use content-encoding header from ES for mvt

We can't always assume the content-encoding will be gzip. When SSL is enabled in Elasticsearch, the http.compression is disabled by default. We can use the headers from the Elasticsearch response to form the Kibana response.

You should have HTTPS enabled to test this PR. Use `yarn es snapshot --ssl` and `yarn start --ssl`.
