- Add support for a zstd compressed initramfs. - Add compression for compressing built-in initramfs with zstd. I have tested this patch by boot testing with buildroot and QEMU. Specifically, I booted the kernel with both a zstd and gzip compressed initramfs, both built into the kernel and separate. I ensured that the correct compression algorithm was used. I tested on arm, aarch64, i386, and x86_64. This patch has been tested in production on aarch64 and x86_64 devices. Additionally, I have performance measurements from internal use in production. On an aarch64 device we saw 19 second boot time improvement from switching from lzma to zstd (27 seconds to 8 seconds). On an x86_64 device we saw a 9 second boot time reduction from switching from xz to zstd.
