Add support for zstd-compressed user and kernel core dumps.

Description

Add support for zstd-compressed user and kernel core dumps.

This works similarly to the existing gzip compression support, but
zstd is typically faster and gives better compression ratios.

Support for this functionality must be configured by adding ZSTDIO to
one's kernel configuration file. dumpon(8)'s new -Z option is used to
configure zstd compression for kernel dumps. savecore(8) now recognizes
and saves zstd-compressed kernel dumps with a .zst extension.
