Feat: Package compiled OS as gzip

[notlesh]

Problem:

The compiled OS JSON is around 40M in size, and this gets absorbed as-is into the binary as a result of include_bytes(...). In addition, we didn't include this in our source tree, requiring downstream users to figure out how to build it.

Solution:

Gzip the OS JSON (this gets us from roughly 40M to 1M) and include this in the binary instead, then decompress it during runtime. Also, include this gzipped JSON so users will not have to worry about it.

The bad:

The downside of this is that we must decompress it at runtime, which looks to add about 0.07sec at runtime on my machine.

Additionally, including the compiled OS artifact in our source tree is less ideal than having a robust build system generate it as needed.
