Enable zstd for debug compression.

Set LLVM_ENABLE_ZSTD alongside LLVM_ENABLE_ZLIB so that --compress-debug-sections=zstd is an option.
Use static linking to avoid a new runtime dependency. Add an llvm.libzstd bootstrap option for LLVM
with zstd. Set it off by default except for the dist builder. Handle llvm-config --system-libs output
that contains static libraries.
