Add support for self-extracting kernels with a ZSTD compression. Tested on a kernel for the GCW-Zero, it allows to reduce the size of the kernel file from 4.1 MiB with gzip to 3.5 MiB with ZSTD, and boots just as fast. Compressed kernels are now also compiled with -D__DISABLE_EXPORTS in order to disable the EXPORT_SYMBOL() macros inside of lib/zstd/decompress.c.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
