I queued in my staging branch the image type definition (which is 
agnostic of where zstd is) and the selftest tweak to skip it from the 
tests because they're the uncontentious part of the series.  We can add 
the image type without the recipe itself moving.

Personally I'm leaning towards keeping zstd out of core *for now* but I 
struggle to have a strong opinion either way.

If zstd has already been removed from meta-oe then yes, it should be 
reverted.  Lesson is to never send a removal until the recipe has 
actually moved! :)
