provide tar.gz/tar.bz/tar.xz in addition to tar.zst #243

Dear all,

refering to this.: https://github.com/pdm-project/pdm/issues/2738

For me the python-build-standalone binaries are the most valuable in in the bootstraping phase. In this phacse I use a zipapp distributed pdm installation. There i have bz2/gz/xz available, but not zstd.

I can not easily pack zstd on the zipapp, as I use the same zipapp on multiple platforms (windows/linux/32/64bit....)

It would make my life much easier when the standalone tar.zstd files would also be available with a python native supported compression format.

would that be an option?
