Summary

Update Safari support for Zstandard content encoding.

Also update the spec URLs to move Zstd into the relevant section, rather than the main spec_url for Accept-/Content-Encoding.

Test results and supporting details

We've added support for Zstandard to Safari 26.3 when running on OS versions 26.3 and later.

Loaded pages and verified zstd is present in request and response header fields in Web Inspector.

This spec is not listed in browser-specs yet, so I filed w3c/browser-specs#2344.
