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.
