Use faster zstd compression settings

[skwerlman]

Currently, DKMS uses compression level 19 when ZSTD is selected as the compression method. However, this does not provide a significant benefit in terms of compressed size when compared to lower levels, especially when considering the time it takes to compress them:

As an example, here are the compression stats for nvidia-dkms on Arch Linux for compression levels -19 and -1.

with -19:

IMO, a saving of only 4.2MiB is not really worth it when the compression takes under a second for -1 but nearly 2 minutes(!) for -19.¹

This situation could be improved with either a lower compression level or by making the compression settings configurable (with some documentation of the compatibility concerns noted in #386)

I think we could remove the parameter completely and just use the default (-3). Probably we can also do the same for xz and gzip.

Care to make a merge request? Thanks.
