#1304 Add support for brotli and zstd into 7z container

[Telnet User]

Brotli and zstd are new compression algorithms aiming for faster speed and better compression.

It would be nice to add support for brotli and zstd into 7z container so that 7zip program can create brotli-compressed and zstd-compressed 7z archives.

Hey, +1 for this. I have found forked version of 7zip with those compression algorithms but.. It would be nice to have it done right and got those oficially in 7zip (https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd).

The main advantage of zstd compression is the speed - which becoming importand when compressing a huge datasets. Additionally zstd can generate own dictionary for each dataset to be compressed which incerases the compression ration.

https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd merge plugins etc into 7zip
this fork handles zstd files also , among others ... +10 , however I'd prefer them to be added in the official tree insted of add-hoc.
