    Upgrade and rate-limit compression failure message.
    
    Without this message getting logged at 'WARN', it's hard to
    contextualize the messages we get about compression bombs, so this
    message should fix #40175.
    
    I'm rate-limiting this, however, since it _could_ get spammy if
    somebody on the network starts acting up.  (Right now it should be
    very quiet; I've asked Sebastian to check it, and he says that he
    doesn't hit this message in practice.)
    
    Closes #40175.
