exchange: reject new compression engines for v1 bundles (issue5506)

Version 1 bundles only support a fixed set of compression engines.
Before this change, we would accept any compression engine for v1
bundles, even those that may not work on v1. This could lead to
an error.

We define a fixed set of compression engines known to work with v1
bundles and we add checking to ensure a newer engine (like zstd)
won't work with v1 bundles.

I also took the liberty of adding test coverage for unknown compression
names because I noticed we didn't have coverage of it before.
