[pve-devel] [PATCH manager] fix #4605: drop rsyncable from zstd invocation

it causes severe slow downs on fast disks, and we still have other rsyncable
compressors available.

it was originally added based on wrong documentation that made the performance
impact look a lot smaller than it actually is.

Notes:
    IMHO, we can always re-introduce it as configurable opt-in option if somebody
    really needs this combination.. and most things for which you might want
    rsyncable are better off just using PBS nowadays anyway.
