zcat works only with gzip files. I'm reminded of this on systems with
defaults.
As far as I know, zstdcat is a drop-in replacement, works with gzip, xz,
zstd, and more. In some sense, both `provides` zcat.
Pacman packages are zstd, I would assume it is as oblivious on the
system as is gzip.

This is a petition for a better default: to install Gzip's as gzcat, and
symlink zcat to zstdcat. Not exactly sure, where it should go to reach
packaging.
- Replace Gzip zcat with zstdcat autape
