feat(lzw): add LZW decompression for memberlist compression support

- Implement pure OCaml LZW decompression (LSB order, litWidth=8)
- Handle Compress_msg (type 9) in TCP connection handler
- Re-enable compression in Go memberlist (default behavior)
- Add LZW unit tests verifying Go-compatible decompression

This enables full interoperability with memberlist's default
compressed pushPull messages during Join().
