Before this patch we detected the presence of a specific zstd API to
see if we can use the library. zstd published that API in its first
stable release: v1.0.0 (2016-08-31).
Replace that method by detecting the zstd library version instead and
accepting if it's v1.0.0 or newer. Also display this detected version
and display a warning if the zstd found is unfit for curl.
We use the same version detection method as zstd itself, via its public
C header.
This deviates from autotools which keeps using the slow method of
looking for the API by building a test program. The outcome is the same
as long as zstd keeps offering this API.
