Contributions summary:Cole implemented User-Agent request headers for the Java driver and server, and for the .Net and Go language variants (GLVs), to send in the websocket handshake for new connections. These changes involved modifications to existing code, including a test case in Java to check for the inclusion of the User-Agent header, and modifications to various classes to handle the User-Agent. The work also included the addition of a new configuration option, `enableCompression`, to Python, Java, and JS.
