Subject: [PATCH] build(cli): zstd-compress the tar before artifact upload

Uncompressed tar left the artifact at ~2.7 GB (same as no-compression
zip on the previous attempt). zstd compresses the tree-sitter wasms
~4x while being near-native speed on the already-compact binaries,
which should bring the artifact close to ~1 GB.

zstd 1.5.7 and GNU tar 1.35 are preinstalled on both github-hosted
and blacksmith ubuntu-2404 images (per the actions/runner-images
Ubuntu2404 manifest and blacksmith's drop-in-replacement docs).
Already used in this same workflow by actions/cache@v4 for bun pm
cache restoration, so availability is empirically confirmed.
