Precompiled Cycles kernels make up a considerable fraction of the total size of Blender builds nowadays. As we add more features and support for more architectures, this will only continue to increase. However, since these kernels tend to be quite compressible, we can save a lot of storage by storing them in compressed form and decompressing the required kernel(s) during loading. By using Zstandard compression with a high level, we can get decent compression ratios (~5x for the current kernels) while keeping decompression time low (about 30ms in the worse case in my tests). And since we already require zstd for Blender, this doesn't introduce a new dependency. While the main improvement is to the size of the extracted Blender installation (which is reduced by ~400-500MB currently), this also shrinks the download on Windows, since .zip's deflate compression is less effective. It doesn't help on Linux since we're already using .tar.xz there, but the smaller installed size is still a good thing. See #123522 for initial discussion.
