Use zstd compression for bootstrap image

The implementation of creating bootstrap images (!169 (merged)) currently uses gzip compressed tarballs.

To decrease the size (and increase build time) we can consider zstd compression for the files.

This needs to be weighed against availability of zstd on target systems (other Linux distributions/ live/ rescue systems, where this tarball will be used in to install Arch Linux).

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
