[PATCH v5 4/8] init: add support for zstd compressed kernel

[Nick Terrell]

From: Nick Terrell <terrelln@xxxxxx>

* Adds the zstd cmd to scripts/Makefile.lib
* Adds the HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD and KERNEL_ZSTD options

Architecture specific support is still needed for decompression.

+	  ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
