Added UTF-8 charset

Is this still needed in 2024?

@DesignMike FlyingPress can deliver cached pages without it, so this is optional

@gijo-varghese Thanks for the info! Would this configuration enable NGINX to directly serve cached files without invoking WordPress or any PHP?

@cheey2003 Yes, with this config FlyingPress can serve cached pages directly from web server, without using PHP.

@gijo-varghese Thanks! It works well 👍 (I confirmed it by looking at the headers of the cached pages)

Updated configuration for GZIP. Also available in official documentation - https://docs.flyingpress.com/en/article/nginx-configuration-1m2sgsz/
