Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I find that zstd compression algorithm would be a nice addition to the current list of algorithms in cyberchef.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I think this project can do zstd compress/decompress of Uint8Array through js: https://github.com/yoshihitoh/zstd-codec
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
use zstd binary cli for the operation
Contributor guide
Research direction
Review CyberChef’s existing compression operations, then read the zstd-codec API linked in the issue and how it handles Uint8Array values. Add zstd compression and decompression as available operations, and confirm both directions work with representative binary input.
