zstd: Move to a new zstd package
Zstd is a discrete, self-contained system component. To match how we
package zlib, bzip2 and xz, move it to its own package, with a separate
lib package.
Add the new package to the minimal set, since this is a core component
that users expect to be installed.
This change adds a new package to the system so, until we have a proper
policy on how to handle this in release/stable branches, it should not
be MFC'd.
MFC after: never

+Zstandard, also called zstd, is a fast data compression algorithm developed
+by Meta Platforms, Inc. and standardised by the IETF in RFC 8478. Zstd is
+designed to offer a compression ratio comparable to DEFLATE (zlib), but with
+performance suitable for real-time compression applications.
