    Add ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD ELF compression constant
    
    ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD indicates that an ELF section is compressed with zstd.
    It is the second compression type, after the existing ELFCOMPRESS_ZLIB.
    Zstd generally provides a compelling tradeoff of speed and compression
    (other algorithms may compress slightly better but take a lot longer,
    or run faster but do not compress nearly as well).
    
    See https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/satyPkuMisk for details.
    ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD will be supported in a future Clang/LLVM update.  ELF
    Tool Chain tools also need updating.
