Codec DEFLATE_QPL Gains Non-Experimental Status with New Server Setting

Codec DEFLATE_QPL is now controlled via server setting "enable_deflate_qpl_codec" (default: false) instead of setting "allow_experimental_codecs". This marks DEFLATE_QPL non-experimental. #50775 (Robert Schulze).
DEFLATE_QPL codec is no longer experimental and is now controlled by the server setting enable_deflate_qpl_codec instead of allow_experimental_codecs (default is false).

Why it matters

This change promotes the DEFLATE_QPL codec from experimental status to a stable feature, providing users with a dedicated and straightforward server setting to enable or disable it. This improves configurability and clarity for users wanting to leverage the DEFLATE_QPL compression codec without enabling all experimental codecs.

How to use it

To enable the DEFLATE_QPL codec, set the server configuration enable_deflate_qpl_codec to true. By default, this setting is false. This replaces the previous requirement to set allow_experimental_codecs to true.
