Description

At least two issues:

• https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/r/R/compression.R#L46 says that compression is not supported on Windows, but ARROW-5683 added Snappy support for Windows.
• ARROW-6216 added more compression options, including for Parquet

Update/implement those, and we should also add some convenience arguments to write_parquet() for selecting compression.
