We have run into cases where support for reading ZSTD compressed Parquet is limited. For tools like GDAL, this depends on the version of arrow-cpp that it was built with (and potentially which ZSTD related options).
This change updates the default compression to be gzip instead of zstd. It is still possible to get ZSTD by passing --compression zstd to the gpq convert command.
