Add ztsd compressor option to support using zstandard for packages. Zstandard compression offers a significant speed increase at decompression time over the current default (xz). This is amplified on less capable hardware as used in embedded devices. Further more, it offers a slightly faster compression speed at the highest compression levels with a slightly lower compression ratio and the ability to choose your own compromise between fast compression speed with less compression and slower compression speed with more compression. Zstandard would therefore be a good solution for package compression when: * install time matters, especially if you are installing on less capable hardware * disk space is not a concern: lower compression can speed up developer builds, especially incremental builds * disk space is a concern: release builds can make use of the highest compression setting to reduce package sizes Signed-off-by: Henry Kleynhans <hkleynhans@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Stewart <alex.stewart@ni.com>
