Greg? You're the python-zstd maintainer: is the interface stable enough we can support non-vendored zstd at this point?

Context for Neal: there at least used to be some unstable APIs in play that required static linking, so our old guidance was to only use the vendored zstd. I don't know offhand if that's resolved.
