R: Compression Codec class

## Compression Codec class

### Description

Codecs allow you to create compressed input and output streams.

### Factory

The `Codec$create()` factory method takes the following arguments:

- `type`: string name of the compression method. Possible values are "uncompressed", "snappy", "gzip", "brotli", "zstd", "lz4", "lzo", or "bz2". `type` may be upper- or lower-cased. Not all methods may be available; support depends on build-time flags for the C++ library. See `codec_is_available()`. Most builds support at least "snappy" and "gzip". All support "uncompressed".

- `compression_level`: compression level, the default value (`NA`) uses the default compression level for the selected compression `type`.
