Replace xz with zstd

hashworks requested to merge zstd into master

Closes #63 (closed).

Using zstd -T0 -8 instead of gz -T0 -9 results in a larger rootfs file, but requires significantly less time and memory:

xz    -9  81M 105.71user 0.58system 0:58.24elapsed 182%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2006964maxresident)k

Additionally this drops bash from the build Dockerfile, since SHELL is not OCI compliant.
