Instead of putting the main thread to sleep state to wait for
free compression thread, we can directly post it out as normal
page that reduces the latency and uses CPUs more efficiently

A parameter, compress-wait-thread, is introduced, it can be
enabled if the user really wants the old behavior

Grammar suggestion:

@compress-wait-thread: Controls behavior when all compression threads are
currently busy. If true (default), wait for a free compression thread to
become available; otherwise, send the page uncompressed. (Since 3.1)

Eric's version seems better.  With that:

It's good to me too. Will apply Eric's suggestion in the next version.
