I have modified zstdcat to behave like zcat/bzcat.

The commit you stated is exactly to ensure the zstd(1) command is behaving like
xz, gzip, etc (to the exception of zstdcat which was buggy) this commit is
needed to have those tools a drop-in replacement for other compression programs.
(which is necessary for example to have newsyslog being able to use zstd.)

I committed a change needed in base and I will start a discussion with upstream

Best regards,
Bapt
