ci-automation: Use zstd to compress container images

We currently use gzip together with pigz (parallel gzip) for importing
container images, and this is a lengthy operation (takes multiple minutes). By
moving to zstd we gain on all fronts: zstd produces smaller files, and is
faster to decompress/compress then pigz while using less resources.
