Per our guidelines[1], just add a bundled(zstd) Provides that
indicates what version of the library is vendored in. And as soon as
reasonably possible, unbundle it.

That's all you need to do. I would also suggest leaving a comment in
the spec above the bundled() Provides to the discussion so that the
rationale is known and documented.
