Add application/zstd support for http requests/responses #860

@mdedetrich

Description

@mdedetrich

zstd is a new compression that is far superior to gzip/lzma in every way and it has also been published as https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8478 as application/zstd which means that http requests/responses can be compressed/decompressed via std.

In terms of browsers, Chromium and Firefox have already added support for zstd compression/decompression, which means that only Safari is needed to have support in all mainstream browsers.

Requires apache/pekko#2404 to be completed and released, at which point we need to add the various header entries.
