Linking libzstd statically #12562

I’ve only now realized that the new libzstd optional dependency is linked dynamically. #12431 shows that mess ups by the system package manager is not uncommon but beyond that I’m rather afraid of seeing a flock of users pretty soon complaining that their new ocaml install do not work because homebrew removed libzstd or whatever.

As a way of counteracting that, would it not be possible to link libzstd statically by default instead so that such breakage does not happen?
