zstd significantly reduces cluster compression time.
It provides better compression performance maintaining
the same level of the compression ratio in comparison with
zlib, which, at the moment, is the only compression
method available.

The performance test results:
Test compresses and decompresses qemu qcow2 image with just
installed rhel-7.6 guest.
Image cluster size: 64K. Image on disk size: 2.2G

The test was conducted with brd disk to reduce the influence
of disk subsystem to the test results.
The results is given in seconds.

compress cmd:
   time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2 -c -o compression_type=[zlib|zstd]
                   src.img [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img
decompress cmd
   time ./qemu-img convert -O qcow2
                   [zlib|zstd]_compressed.img uncompressed.img

            compression               decompression
          zlib       zstd           zlib         zstd
------------------------------------------------------------
real     65.5       16.3 (-75 %)    1.9          1.6 (-16 %)
user     65.0       15.8            5.3          2.5
sys       3.3        0.2            2.0          2.0

Both ZLIB and ZSTD gave the same compression ratio: 1.57
compressed image size in both cases: 1.4G

+Compressed data layout for the available compression types:
+(x = data_space_length - 1)

Note, that term 'data_space_lenght' is not defined in the spec..

Hmm. And it's not trivial to define it correctly, all we have is offset and
"number of additional sectors", and may be not all bytes of final sector are
occupied... What about something like this:

In the following layout description byte 0 corresponds to byte at host cluster 
offset,
as defined by "Compressed Clusters Descriptor" paragraph above. The whole 
layout occupy
space starting from this offset, using additional 512-byte sectors defined by
"Compressed Clusters Descriptor" paragraph, not necessarily occupying all of 
the bytes
in the final sector. Let x be number of last byte of the layout.

+
+    0:  (default)  zlib <http://zlib.net/>:
+            Byte  0 -  x:     the compressed data content
+                              all the space provided used for compressed data

+                  4 -  x:     the compressed data content

Maybe, note that x+! == 4 + length, where length is value of first field of the 
layout.
