Cool. I'll do a detailed review later, but I think this is going in a
good direction.

Interesting approach. This unfortunately has the effect of making that
test case file look a bit incoherent -- the comment at the top of the
file isn't really accurate any more, for example, and the plain_format
flag does more than just cause us to use -Fp; it also causes us NOT to
use --target server:X. However, that might be something we can figure
out a way to clean up. Alternatively, we could have a new test case
file that is structured like 002_algorithm.pl but looping over
compression methods rather than checksum algorithms, and testing each
one with --server-compress and -Fp. It might be easier to make that
look nice (but I'm not 100% sure).
