compression: introduce an official `zstd-revlog` requirement
This requirement supersedes `exp-compression-zstd`. However, we keep support for
the old requirement.
Strictly speaking, we do not need to add a new requirement, there are no logic
change making "new" repo incompatible with mercurial client using a version
that support `exp-compression-zstd`.
The choice to introduce a new requirement is motivated by the following:
* The previous requirement was explicitly "experimental". Using it by default
could confuse users.
* adding support for a hypothetical third compression engine will requires new
code, and will comes with its own requirement tool.
* We won't use it as the default for a while since I do not think we support
zstd on all platform. I can imagine we'll gain another (unrelated but on my
default) requirement by the time we turn this zstd by default.

compression: only declare revlog support for available engine
Even if we know that an engine support revlog compression, the Mercurial process
still won't support it if the compression engine is not available.
