compression: add support for the zstd algorithm

zstd is a compression algorithm that has a very fast decoder, while
providing also good compression ratios.  The fast decoder makes it
suitable for container images, as decompressing the tarballs is a very
expensive operation.

https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/pull/788 added support
for zstd to the OCI image specs.
