reject compression by default

With this change the value of '--allow-compression' is set to 'no'.
Therefore compression is not enabled by default and cannot be enabled
by the server either.

This change is in line with the current trend of not recommending
compression over VPN tunnels for security reasons (check Voracle).

Of top of that compression is mostly useless nowadays, therefore
there is not real reason to enable it.
