Don't produce compressed assets at build time and instead do it as part of the nginx build (#2995)

The core vite build shouldn't be responsible for implementing optimisations that are specific to a particular distribution mechanism. e.g. static compressed files for nginx.

This way the core build is "clean".

Instead, the packager/distributor of the build should be responsible for it. e.g. the nginx docker distribution should do any optimisations that it chooses.
