Review Comment:
   ... after checking the Rust implementation, it really should have used a 
`thread_local!` scoped context as well. That went badly, where it's now 
creating that ZSTD context even if LZ4 is selected, it's creating one distinct 
context per usage location, and it's still creating a new context for a lot of 
potentially short-lived objects. Also it missed that there is not just a need 
for the `CompressionContext` but also the `DecompressionContext` specifically 
when talking about the IPC library which uses compression in both directions...
