Despite what its git timestamp says, this is based on the most recent
patch from January, which I've had floating around since then. It
needed to be rebased over at least:
- guc_tables patch;
- build and test with meson;
- doc/
Some of my changes are separate so you can see what I've done.
check_libpq_compression() is in the wrong place, but I couldn't
immediately see where else to put it, since src/common can't include the
backend's guc headers.
Some of the makefile changes seem unnecessary (now?), and my meson
changes don't seem quite right, either.
There's no reason for Zstd to be a separate patch anymore.
It should be updated to parse compression level and options using the
infrastructure introduced for basebackup.
And address the architectural issue from 2 years ago:

The global variable PqStream should be moved into some libpq structure
(Port?) and handled within secure_read(). And pqsecure_read shouldn't
be passed as a function pointer/callback. And verify it passes tests
with all supported compression algorithms and connects to old servers.
