Subject: [PATCH] crypto/tls: update TLS 1.3 client compression validation

Unlike in earlier TLS versions, in TLS 1.3 when processing a server
hello the legacy_compression_method MUST have the value 0. It is no
longer a parameter that offers a choice of compression method.

With this in mind, it seems more appropriate to return a decode error
when we encounter a non-zero compression method in a server hello
message. We haven't found a parameter value we reject, we've found
a message that doesn't decode according to its specification.

Making this change also aligns with BoringSSL and allows enabling the
TLS13-HRR-InvalidCompressionMethod bogo test.

Updates #72006
