Revived version of #48244, with a slightly different approach. This version looks for a function pointer called
jl_image_unpack
inside compiled system images and invokes it to get thejl_image_buf_t
struct. Two implementations,jl_image_unpack_zstd
andjl_image_unpack_uncomp
are provided (for comparison). The zstd compression is applied only to the heap image, and not the compiled code, since that can be shared across Julia processes.TODO: test a few different compression settings and enable by default.
