Meson always returns -pthread in dependency('threads') on non-MSVC compilers. On Windows, zstd uses Windows threading primitives, so we don't need this. Avoid adding -pthread to libzstd's link flags, either as a Meson subproject or via pkg-config Libs.private, so the application doesn't inadvertently depend on winpthreads.
