Summary

ZSTDIO is not just for core dumps, and it is now required by ZFS, so
move it (and GZIO, which is still just for dumps) to a new “Compression
support” section in GENERIC, and add them both to MINIMAL.

I'd stay explicit on the fact that kernel and user dumps are concerned.

Any chance we can make zstd a loadable module?
