zstd: 0.5.1 -> 0.6.0
Changes:
- Stronger high compression modes
- Changed : highest compression modes require --ultra command to
  remove memory restrictions
- API: ZSTD_getFrameParams() provides size of decompressed content
- Fixed: zstd cli return error code > 0 and removes dst file artifact
  when decompression fails
- Various fixes and small performance improvements

longDescription = ''
Zstd, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm,
targeting real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level compression
ratio. Zstd can also offer stronger compression ratio at the cost of
compression speed. Speed/ratio trade-off is configurable by small
increment, to fit different situations. Note however that decompression
speed is preserved and remain roughly the same at all settings, a
property shared by most LZ compression algorithms, such as zlib.
