kconfig: Enable ZSTD and XZ Commpressed Firmware

Julia Filipchuk requested to merge jbfil/i915-infra:fix/enable-zstd-fw-compression into master

For Ubuntu 23.10+ compatibility we need to have support for ".zst" firmware files as Ubuntu (and maybe others) ship only compressed versions of all firmware binaries.

Discussions link and related issues. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/reduce-initramfs-size-and-speed-up-the-generation-in-ubuntu-23-10/38972 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2028568

Note: XZ compression is enabled by default when configured with menu-config. So that value is kept.
