It would be nice if boulder would automatically compress all man pages, likely with zstd compression.

Compressed any man page files found in the manifest with zstd.

There are three considerations:-
- It _will_ increase the size of the resulting .stone file(s),
  compressing .stones with --long could resolve this.
- Info pages are currently ignored but could also be compressed.
- Updating symlinks is not yet tested.

Prior to providing delta packages, this is a no brainer. However, afterwards it becomes a lot more complex and needs consideration across the whole distribution (compressing man pages, kernel modules, kernel etc)

Compress any man page files found in the manifest with zstd,
if enabled by the packager.

There are three considerations:-
- It _will_ increase the size of the resulting .stone file(s),
  (compressing .stones with --long could resolve this, in the future).
- Info pages are currently ignored but could also be compressed.
- Updating symlinks is not yet tested.
