[Bug 291567] bsdtar produces corrupted gzip/zstd streams when writing compressed archives to stdout, while the same commands using -f file create valid archives.

There is positive progress on the upstream issue (libarchive/libarchive#2810).

dag-erling commented:
"If libarchive claims to produce a zstd stream then that stream should be
valid. 
Padding cannot just be zeroes but must be in the form of a zstd skippable
frame. 
I will try to come up with a patch."

I agree - producing invalid compressed streams is unacceptable regardless of 
"documented behavior". The output should be valid for the format it claims to
be.
