Merge pull request #16 from phyloref/gzip-jsonld

When trying to host JPhyloRef on my own server, I found that files were being uploaded too slowly. This PR updates the Open Tree Resolver so that it uploads the file as a Gzipped string to save time. Requires a JPhyloRef that supports phyloref/jphyloref#63.
