Integrates the ZSTD decompression code to the x86 pre-boot code.

Zstandard requires slightly more memory during the kernel decompression
on x86 (192 KB vs 64 KB), and the memory usage is independent of the
window size.

Zstandard requires memory proportional to the window size used during
compression for decompressing the ramdisk image, since streaming mode is
used. Newer versions of zstd (1.3.2+) list the window size of a file
with `zstd -lv <file>'. The absolute maximum amount of memory required
is just over 8 MB.

This change would also affect other decompressors, not just ZSTD, 
correct?

Might want to split this change out into a separate preparatory patch to 
allow it to be bisected to, or at least mention it in the changelog more 
explicitly?

Thanks,
