Add Zstandard compression as the 4th supported algorithm since it becomes more popular now and some end users have asked this for quite a while [1][2]. Each EROFS physical cluster contains only one valid standard Zstandard frame as described in [3] so that decompression can be performed on a per-pcluster basis independently. Currently, it just leverages multi-call stream decompression APIs with internal sliding window buffers. One-shot or bufferless decompression could be implemented later for even better performance if needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
