The goal is to speed up the pulling of container images, via using zstd:chunked.  zstd:chunked format has shown itself to speed up the pulling of images by as much as 90%. This change has been waiting for change for over 3 years, waiting for Docker to support the format.

<!-- What is the benefit to the distribution?  Will the software we generate be improved? How will the process of creating Fedora releases be improved?
<!-- Fedora would be the first distribution to support building zstd:chunked format by default. Container engines (Podman, Buildah, Skopeo, CRI-O)  which support the format natively would see a great speed up in pulling images. Other container engines including Docker and Containerd would see some speed up do the the compression algorythms of zstd, but not to the same degree as container engines with full support.
 
      Be sure to include the following areas if relevant:
      If this is a major capability update, what has changed?
          For example: This change introduces Python 5 that runs without the Global Interpreter Lock and is fully multithreaded.
      If this is a new functionality, what capabilities does it bring?
          For example: This change allows package upgrades to be performed automatically and rolled-back at will.
      Does this improve some specific package or set of packages?
          For example: This change modifies a package to use a different language stack that reduces install size by removing dependencies.
      Does this improve specific Spins or Editions?
          For example: This change modifies the default install of Fedora Workstation to be more in line with the base install of Fedora Server.
      Does this make the distribution more efficient?
          For example: This change replaces thousands of individual %post scriptlets in packages with one script that runs at the end.
      Is this an improvement to maintainer processes?
          For example: Gating Fedora packages on automatic QA tests will make rawhide more stable and allow changes to be implemented more smoothly.
      Is this an improvement targeted as specific contributors?
          For example: Ensuring that a minimal set of tools required for contribution to Fedora are installed by default eases the onboarding of new contributors.
 
    When a Change has multiple benefits, it's better to list them all.
