compressor: replace snappy with cramjam

The python-snappy library is no longer maintained. Cramjam is almost a
drop-in replacement that allows for a considerable speedup both in the
compression and decompression tasks. The relevant benchmark for
snappy's framed format [1].

Add more tests for compression and decompression & modernize some pattern matching.
