pygoscelis: Try out zstd for kernel and initramfs

This not a panic reaction to the xz situation, but certainly an
experiment initiated by that. Let’s have a look at compression speed,
decompression (startup) speed and compression size.

Several changes to configs and packages must be done:
- enable kernel support for zstd compression for itself
- enable kernel support for zstd compression for the initramfs
- adopt firmware names in CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
- let the initramfs be compressed with zstd
- compress firmware files with zstd (before re-building the kernel)

For some details see gitea issue #2.
