Subject: [PATCH] workflows/release-binaries: Fix zstd compression (#219587)

23.1.0 was the first e2e release with zstd archives. I noticed that once
it shipped they didn't have a meaningful size improvement over the
pre-existing archives. Turns out this is because by default zstd
compresses over a 128MB window which wasn't large enough to get
meaningful savings. We now use 1GB for this which uses more memory but
should take the archive from the 1.8GB that the xz release is, to ~1gb.
I played around with a few options and this was the best time vs
compress vs memory usage ratio.
