[PATCH] configure: Support --with-zstd=PATH
This patch updates the configure scripts to allow users to specify a PATH for the zstd library using the —with-zstd=PATH option. It ensures that the specified zstd version is 1.4.0 or newer and includes necessary changes in various binutils sub-projects’ configure scripts. This addresses the issue where the path provided to —with-zstd was not being utilized, unlike in GCC. The patch also notes discrepancies in configure file content compared to autoconf output.
