Subject: [PATCH] fix(nginx): cache and compress the duckdb-wasm asset

The wasm engine is the single largest asset in the build (39,362,651 bytes) but
the immutable-cache location regex did not include `wasm`, so on the
Docker/nginx path it got no Cache-Control at all, and no gzip directive existed
anywhere -- nginx's default gzip_types is text/html only, so it shipped
uncompressed on every cold load.

Verified against nginx:alpine (1.31.3) with the real dist/ mounted:
`nginx -t` passes, and the wasm now returns Content-Type: application/wasm,
Content-Encoding: gzip, Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable --
8,766,496 bytes on the wire instead of 39,362,651.

Dynamic gzip rather than gzip_static because the Vite build emits no
pre-compressed .gz files.
