Send the length of the bytes we are actually sending

A gzip response is decompressed before the blob proxy sees the body, but
its content-length still describes the compressed bytes. Copying that
header onto the longer body made the browser stop reading that many bytes
in and call the download complete, so files arrived truncated with nothing
reporting a failure.

It took a hop that compresses to show up, and one that only compresses
above a threshold to look like a race: a Sieve script stayed intact for two
rules and came back cut off mid-rule once the third pushed it past 1 KiB.

Ask upstream for identity, and forward no length at all rather than one
that describes different bytes.

- **A compressing hop in front of Stalwart truncated every blob download, and nothing said so.** Node decompresses a gzip response before the code ever sees the body, but leaves the `content-length` header describing the *compressed* bytes. The blob proxy copied that header onto the longer body it forwarded, so the browser stopped reading exactly that many bytes in and called the download complete. Reported on [#76](https://github.com/LINUXexpert-org/ihasmail/issues/76) against a Coolify deployment, where Traefik's compress middleware only engages above 1 KiB: filter rules one and two were fine and the third pushed the script past the threshold, after which it came back cut off mid-rule — 384 bytes of a 1.3 KB script. The size threshold is what made it look like a race. This is the *second* cause behind that issue, and the first fix did not touch it: a truncated script is neither unknown nor empty, so the "refuse to save from a baseline we could not read" guard never fired — the script parsed, just with rules missing, and the next save wrote the short version back over the real one. Every blob download shared the fault, not just Sieve: message source, vCards, signature HTML, attachments being forwarded, and the `settings.json` sync. Settings degraded honestly by luck rather than design — a truncated file fails `JSON.parse`, which is caught and leaves the local cache in charge — so it stopped syncing between devices instead of being overwritten. The proxy now asks upstream for `identity` and, for a hop that compresses anyway, forwards no length at all rather than one describing different bytes. The image proxy is unaffected: it uses `node:http` directly, sends no `accept-encoding`, and never decompresses.
- **Delete all spam destroys, and does not pass through Deleted Items** — this is the point of the feature and the thing worth checking on a real server, since a folder that empties into another folder has solved nothing. `Email/set destroy`, walked a page at a time so it survives `maxObjectsInSet` the way emptying Deleted Items already had to. **Confirmed live on 0.16.19 (2026-08-26)**: Junk Mail emptied and Deleted Items stayed empty afterwards. There is no undo, which is why all three entry points share one dialog that says so. Only Deleted Items and Junk Mail can be emptied this way, enforced in the store rather than only hidden in the menus.
- **Sharing a mail folder is accepted and does nothing.** `Mailbox/set` with a `shareWith` map is applied, `Mailbox/get` reads it back, and the folder never appears for the account it was shared with — **confirmed live on 0.16.19 (2026-08-27)** with a folder shared read-only to another account on the same server, which never saw it. Stalwart's own sharing documentation lists calendars, address books and file storage; mail folders are not among them. Nothing reports a failure at any point, which is the whole problem: the share is stored, so a client that trusts what it reads back shows it as live for ever. The entry point is withdrawn. A folder that is *already* shared still offers **Stop sharing**, because a share nobody can see is exactly the one you want to be able to clear, and there is no other way to. File sharing is unaffected and works end to end.
- **Address book sharing works, and was briefly withdrawn by mistake.** It was taken out alongside mail folders on 2026-08-27 on a report that it behaved the same way; the report was mistaken and the feature was put back the same day. Nothing was ever shown to be wrong with it, and Stalwart documents address books as shareable. Recorded because the withdrawal is in the history and would otherwise read as a finding. Shared books now appear in the Contacts pane under "Shared with me" rather than behind an account switch, and their contacts are offered when addressing a message.
