Common Lisp SDK for the Datastar Hypermedia Framework

This is my attempted at something that makes using Common Lisp with Datastar easier. To test the SDK I made this demo that shows the simulation of the Cassini-Huygens mission using the NASA SPICE toolkit and JPL Horizons API: https://dataspice.interlaye.red/

The Datastar API itself is very simple, 3 functions or so, I ended up wasting a lot more time on stuff like leeping the SSE stream open, compression support (zstd only atm), and trying to use CLOS in a way that would fit both Hunchentoot and Clack (not always easy).

Very nice, thank you. The tests directory is good for testing, and I suggest adding an examples directory with a few very short and complete simple examples.

Thanks! Yes, I think I will add the Horizons JPL demo there, it's essentially a 20 line file.
