Added

• Added a OpenError::DictionaryDoesNotExist error variant, which identifies when a dictionary couldn't be found.
• Added Dictionary::try_open(), which returns a Result<Dictionary, OpenError>, allowing programs to explicitly handle open failures.
• Added automatic gzip decompression for backend responses; see Request::set_auto_decompress_gzip().
• Added Request::get_query_parameter() for easy access to individual query parameter strings.
• Added get_ttl() and get_stale_while_revalidate() accessors for CacheOverride.

Changed

• Renamed with_body_bytes() and set_body_bytes() methods to with_body_octet_stream() and set_body_octet_stream() to emphasize that they modify the Content-Type of the request or response. The original names are still present, but deprecated.
• When reading from an HTTP body, an unexpected EOF (e.g., if a backend disconnects) results in an appropriately-tagged std::io::Error rather than the generic "fastly_http_body::read failed".

Fixed

• Panics caused when request limits are exceeded in Request::from_client() or the #[fastly::main] macro now log a more informative error message; previously it was reported as panicked at 'explicit panic'.
