-Subject: [PATCH] [cmake] Simplify zstd find logic, and support pre-existing
- zstd target
-
-Some deduplication work on the zstd required/if-available logic. Also
-adds support for pre-existing `zstd::libzstd` which is useful for
-projects that bundle their own zstd in a way that doesn't get caught by
-`CONFIG`
