While waiting for the Perl bootstrap I've been experimenting with having

these at the moment, but I've been able to monkey-patch it by adding
'|zst' in the obvious places. Can this be done officially, please? I
can't help noting that these really shouldn't be literal strings so that
you only need to change them in a single place if necessary; so perhaps
common_constants.py would be a good place for that definition.
Yeah, this list should be done in a less ad-hoc way.
This isn't totally straightforward as calm uses the python tar module to
validate the upload archives, but that doesn't (yet) support zstd
compression.
