Remove support for snappy compression.
LZ4 is using less CPU at similar performance, and it is easier to
build and support for binary installs (as it does not require C++
and a C++ runtime). Since it was never supported in any formally
released OpenVPN version, just drop it again.
This leaves in the compression opcode for Snappy for documentation
purposes.
