Adds support for zstd, but keeps brotli as preferred.

Resolves #217

I think we decided to wait for zstd to become stable in Node.js before using it:

• feat: zstandard support body-parser#586
• zstd support? body-parser#560

Thank you, that's perfectly fine :)
I did the work for a little experiment of mine and thought I'd open the PR in case it's useful when the time is right.

Isn't it that time already?

Zsdt is still experimental as of Node.js 25.6.1: https://nodejs.org/api/zlib.html#class-zlibzstdcompress

While it’s still experimental, it’s already being adopted by several important packages like fastify/compress, webpack-bundle-analyzer, and likely many others. I think it would be a good idea to include it. There haven’t been many issues reported about this, and the existing ones seem more like Node.js-related problems rather than ours.

That said, I do wonder whether this should probably be a major version or not. I’m asking because when I implemented Brotli in compression as a minor release, issues were reported by people who couldn’t control which encodings were accepted.
