zstd: vendor python-zstandard 0.7.0

Commit 3054ae3a66112970a091d3939fee32c2d0c1a23e from
https://github.com/indygreg/python-zstandard is imported without
modifications (other than removing unwanted files).

The vendored zstd library within has been upgraded from 1.1.2 to
1.1.3. This version introduced new APIs for threads, thread
pools, multi-threaded compression, and a new dictionary
builder (COVER). These features are not yet used by
python-zstandard (or Mercurial for that matter). However,
that will likely change in the next python-zstandard release
(and I think there are opportunities for Mercurial to take
advantage of the multi-threaded APIs).

Relevant to Mercurial, the CFFI bindings are now fully
implemented. This means zstd should "just work" with PyPy
(although I haven't tried). The python-zstandard test suite also
runs all tests against both the C extension and CFFI bindings to
ensure feature parity.

There is also a "decompress_content_dict_chain()" API. This was
derived from discussions with Yann Collet on list about alternate
ways of encoding delta chains.

The change most relevant to Mercurial is a performance enhancement in
the simple decompression API to reuse a data structure across
operations. This makes decompression of multiple inputs significantly
faster. (This scenario occurs when reading revlog delta chains, for
example.)

Using python-zstandard's bench.py to measure the performance
difference...

That should make reads on zstd revlogs a bit faster ;)
