Python: Create an extension Compressor object
- Create a `Compressor` object in the extension module
- Move the `compress` method into the native module and use
the new `Compressor` object to do the compression
Note: This does not change the module-level Python API. The
`Compressor` object will not be publicly exposed until its
methods have stabilized.

+
+ Args:
+ string (bytes): The input data.
+ mode (int, optional): The compression mode can be MODE_GENERIC (default),
+ MODE_TEXT (for UTF-8 format text input) or MODE_FONT (for WOFF 2.0).
+ quality (int, optional): Controls the compression-speed vs compression-
+ density tradeoff. The higher the quality, the slower the compression.
+ Range is 0 to 11. Defaults to 11.
+ lgwin (int, optional): Base 2 logarithm of the sliding window size. Range
+ is 10 to 24. Defaults to 22.
+ lgblock (int, optional): Base 2 logarithm of the maximum input block size.
+ Range is 16 to 24. If set to 0, the value will be set based on the
+ quality. Defaults to 0.
+ dictionary (bytes, optional): Custom dictionary. Only last sliding window
+ size bytes will be used.
+
+ Returns:
+ The compressed byte string.
+
+ Raises:
+ brotli.error: If arguments are invalid, or compressor fails.
