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.

applyFunc now takes an io.Reader instead of a tar.Reader because I'm
trying to mirror the API of the not-yet-exposed implementation of this
same behaviour in github.com/Microsoft/hcsshim/internal/ociwclayer,
with an eye to later moving to that implementation it is ever exposed.
