- Improvements
- Add Zstandard to the supported compression formats using libzstd
(pass --with-zstd to configure)

- Bug fixes
- Ignore ill-formed kernel command line, e.g. with "ivrs_acpihid[00:14.5]=AMD0020:0"
option in it
- Fix some memory leaks
- Fix 0-length builtin.alias.bin: it needs at least the index header
