In QEMU 5.1 zstd compression of your qcow2 files was introduced but I can't find a way to activate it?

It seems to be an option for the qemu-img create command, so it's only possible to use zstd when creating new images e.g. qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o compression_type=zstd ./test-with-zstd.qcow2 10

I guess it provide continuous compression in contrast to the current "old" compression feature which didn't.

@openSUSE: Time of writing is was not enabled in the package (bug report) :-(
