James Tucker 6608b9a387 tsweb/compserve, client/web: add zstd, remove brotli for precompressed assets
Adds tsweb/compserve: content negotiation for precompressed static
variants, with a transcode-to-identity fallback for clients that do not
accept an encoding (including when the raw file is absent), and
CompressWriter, which live-compresses dynamic responses with zstd in its
fastest mode, streamed incrementally with no buffering. Negotiation is
q-value and wildcard aware (gzip;q=0 previously matched gzip).

client/web serves its prebuilt embedded assets through compserve,
replacing brotli with zstd; the embedded FS is wrapped in
tsweb/vcstime for conditional-request mod times. tsweb/compserve/gzip.go
keeps transitional serving of gzip variants from pre-zstd file systems
(such as the currently published web-client-prebuilt module):
passthrough to gzip-accepting clients, transcoded to identity otherwise;
it becomes inert once a zstd-only module is published.

util/zstdframe gains pooled GetDecoder and GetStreamingEncoder
(concurrency=1). util/precompress is now a build-time tool, generating
zstd variants only. cmd/tsconnect and cmd/build-webclient consume the
new precompress/compserve split. tsweb.AcceptsEncoding and
tsweb/tswebutil are removed; negotiation lives in compserve and the
deprecated shim had no callers. go.mod bumps web-client-prebuilt.

Also fixes a transcoding bug where http.ServeContent's size probe via
the promoted zstd.Decoder.WriteTo could report a zero length, serving
empty bodies.
