Add support for Zstd-based compression in LevelDB.
This change implements support for Zstd-based compression in LevelDB. Building
up from the Snappy compression (which has been supported since inception), this
change adds Zstd as an alternate compression algorithm.
We are implementing this to provide alternative options for users who might
have different performance and efficiency requirements. For instance, the
Zstandard website (https://facebook.github.io/zstd/) claims that the Zstd
algorithm can achieve around 30% higher compression ratios than Snappy, with
relatively smaller (~10%) slowdowns in de/compression speeds.
