Update to Zstandard 1.4.5

As usual, the full release notes are found on Github:

https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.4.5

Notable changes include:

* Improved decompress performance on amd64 and arm (5-10%
and 15-50%, respectively).
* '--patch-from' zstd(1) CLI option, which provides something like a very fast
version of bspatch(1) with slightly worse compression. See release notes.

In this update, I dropped the 3-year old -O0 workaround for an LLVM ARM bug;
the bug was fixed in LLVM SVN in 2017, but we didn't remove this workaround
from our tree until now.

These are mostly minor updates; 1.4.1 purportedly brings something like 7%
faster decompression speed.

Update to Zstandard 1.3.8

This merge brings in a couple new files, which needed to be attached to the
build; a new dependency on <limits.h>, which must be stubbed; and a name
change in the Context parameter constants, from ZSTD_p_foo to ZSTD_c_foo.

Significantly, it fixes a kernel build error with GCC where floating-point
functions were included in the kernel build, by hiding them under the same
compile-time #ifdef that already covered their invocation. That issue was
introduced to FreeBSD in the 1.3.7 update and tracked upstream here:

https://github.com/facebook/zstd/issues/1386

Merge ^/head r325663 through r325841.

Move zstd from contrib to sys/contrib so it can be used in the
kernel. Adjust the Makefiles that referenced it to the new path.
