mkuzip: drop support for executable uzip images
A uzip image has a 128-byte header, historically, this header could be executed as a shell script to mount the uzip image to a user provided mountpoint.
The embedded shell commands only work for uzip images that were created with zlib or zstd compression that contained an ISO-9660 file system. Given the limited space available in the uzip header, it is not practical to extend this feature to include other file systems or to provide sensible error handling and error messages to the user. For these reasons, abandon the embedded shell script in the uzip image header.
To maintain backwards compatibility, the shebang and shell must reside in the 128-byte header.
This change of behavior is documented in mkuzip(8) and an example has been provided for creating/mounting uzip images.

geom_uzip(4), mkuzip(8): Add Zstd image mode
The Zstd format bumps the CLOOP major number to 4 to avoid incompatibility with older systems. Support in geom_uzip(4) is conditional on the ZSTDIO kernel option, which is enabled in amd64 GENERIC, but not all in-tree configurations.
mkuzip(8) was modified slightly to always initialize the nblocks + 1'th offset in the CLOOP file format. Previously, it was only initialized in the case where the final compressed block happened to be unaligned w.r.t. DEV_BSIZE. The "Fake" last+1 block change in r298619 means that the final compressed block's 'blen' was never correct unless the compressed uzip image happened to be BSIZE-aligned. This happened in about 1 out of every 512 cases. The zlib and lzma decompressors are probably tolerant of extra trash following the frame they were told to decode, but Zstd complains that the input size is incorrect.
Correspondingly, geom_uzip(4) was modified slightly to avoid trashing the nblocks + 1'th offset when it is known to be initialized to a good value. This corrects the calculated final real cluster compressed length to match that printed by mkuzip(8).
mkuzip(8) was refactored somewhat to reduce code duplication and increase ease of adding other compression formats.
* Input block size validation was pulled out of individual compression init routines into main().
* Init routines now validate a user-provided compression level or select an algorithm-specific default, if none was provided.
* A new interface for calculating the maximal compressed size of an incompressible input block was added for each driver. The generic code uses it to validate against MAXPHYS as well as to allocate compression result buffers in the generic code.
* Algorithm selection is now driven by a table lookup, to increase ease of adding other formats in the future.
mkuzip(8) gained the ability to explicitly specify a compression level with '-C'. The prior defaults -- 9 for zlib and 6 for lzma -- are maintained. The new zstd default is 9, to match zlib.
Rather than select lzma or zlib with '-L' or its absense, respectively, a new argument '-A <algorithm>' is provided to select 'zlib', 'lzma', or 'zstd'. '-L' is considered deprecated, but will probably never be removed.
All of the new features were documented in mkuzip.8; the page was also cleaned up slightly.
