7-Zip-zstd features

[God-damnit-all]

Would you consider incorporating the features from https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd?

Not only is ZStandard very useful for making large backups (doesn't have to spend all day compressing), but its "Fast LZMA2" codec (which creates archives that can be read by normal 7-Zip) is very useful.

I am currently busy to test and do proper release.
You can test binaries in this post. Just install 7-Zip ZS 24.08 x64 from https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/actions/runs/12517211259 and then replace files with ones from 7z-zstd-x64-bin.zip

@ozone10 Everything seems to be working, thank you!!

Here's a copy of the x64 files I downloaded from that run just in case they expire and someone else wants them.

Oh, I guess I should ask, do you plan on integrating the zstd features or are you going to have it be something separate?

@God-damnit-all
for now separate, since this is mainly for Windows 10 and 11, and I don't have time to test it on older OS.
I will also provide only x64 builds.

Understandable. Would you consider releasing the source? Is a 24.09 build viable?

@God-damnit-all
I've created branch https://github.com/ozone10/7zip-Dark7zip/tree/7z-zstd, since I don't want to create fork repo of https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

For 24.09 build you should wait for maintainers of 7-Zip-zstd, but 24.08 of 7-Zip-zstd already contains all features added in original 24.09.
