zstd 1.5.0

This release updates the upstream zstd version to 1.5.0 (#106) (thanks @SirSniper!) which sports some major performance improvements!

• Allow building against zstd dynamic library instead of static by @dopuskh3 (#109)
• Don't block the stream reader when a block is available by @delthas (#96)

zstd 1.5.0-rc.1

This release updates the upstream zstd version to 1.5.0 (#106 thanks to @SirSniper)

zstd 1.4.8 - wrapper patches 1

The semantic versioning of this release is a bit particular since it only includes changes in the Go wrapper without any changes from the upstream C repository (https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases).

Changes:

• Fix "Go pointer to Go pointer" panics when using another writer @evanj (#97)

This is a recommended version as it fixes potential panics (never expected) when using a writer from another package
