Summary	0000479: Environment item storage should use custom serialization
Description	Currently unloaded environment sectors store materialized items as base64 encoded, gzipped, binary. It should be changed to: Send the compressed binary when serializing them over the network Store the compressed binary at runtime Compress during serialization/network transfer instead of during snapshot Streaming encode to/from base64 at serialization time This can be done by creating a helper type `Base64CompressedBinary` that implements `IXmlSerializable` and has a custom `MySerializer` for RPC.
