use libbrotli directly when available

* Look for both 'brotli' and 'bro' as external command,
  since upstream has renamed it in newer versions.
  If neither are found, current runtime behavior
  is preserved: try to find 'bro' on PATH.
* Limit amount handed to BrotliEncoderCompressStream
  to ensure interrupts are processed in a timely manner.
  Testing shows negligible performance impact.
  (Other compression sinks don't seem to require this)
