If the configured compression level for kernel dumps
it outside the supported range, clamp it to the closest
supported level. Previously, dumpon would fail.
zstd already does this internally, so the compressor
needs no change.

rename the source to gsb_crc32.c.
This is a prerequisite of unifying kernel zlib instances.

This merge brings in a couple new files, which needed to be attached to the
build; a new dependency on <limits.h>, which must be stubbed; and a name
change in the Context parameter constants, from ZSTD_p_foo to ZSTD_c_foo.
Significantly, it fixes a kernel build error with GCC where floating-point
functions were included in the kernel build, by hiding them under the same
compile-time #ifdef that already covered their invocation. That issue was
introduced to FreeBSD in the 1.3.7 update and tracked upstream here:
https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/1386
The full 1.3.8 release notes can be found on Github:

Prior to this revision, we allocated sufficient context space for 'level'
but never actually set the compress level parameter, so we would always get
the default '3'.

This works similarly to the existing gzip compression support, but
zstd is typically faster and gives better compression ratios.
Support for this functionality must be configured by adding ZSTDIO to
one's kernel configuration file. dumpon(8)'s new -Z option is used to
configure zstd compression for kernel dumps. savecore(8) now recognizes
and saves zstd-compressed kernel dumps with a .zst extension.

We currently use a set of subroutines in kern_gzio.c to perform
compression of user and kernel core dumps. In the interest of adding
support for other compression algorithms (zstd) in this role without
complicating the API consumers, add a simple compressor API which can be
used to select an algorithm.
Also change the (non-default) GZIO kernel option to not enable
compressed user cores by default. It's not clear that such a default
would be desirable with support for multiple algorithms implemented,
and it's inconsistent in that it isn't applied to kernel dumps.
