Add support for Zstd-based compression in LevelDB.
This change implements support for Zstd-based compression in LevelDB. Building up from the Snappy compression (which has been supported since inception), this change adds Zstd as an alternate compression algorithm. We are implementing this to provide alternative options for users who might have different performance and efficiency requirements. For instance, the Zstandard website (https://facebook.github.io/zstd/) claims that the Zstd algorithm can achieve around 30% higher compression ratios than Snappy, with relatively smaller (~10%) slowdowns in de/compression speeds.

* Multiple changes can be made in one atomic batch.
* Users can create a transient snapshot to get a consistent view of data.
* Forward and backward iteration is supported over the data.
- * Data is automatically compressed using the [Snappy compression library](https://google.github.io/snappy/).
+ * Data is automatically compressed using the [Snappy compression library](https://google.github.io/snappy/), but [Zstd compression](https://facebook.github.io/zstd/) is also supported.
* External activity (file system operations etc.) is relayed through a virtual interface so users can customize the operating system interactions.
