libelf: Document and make ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD usable with old system elf.h

Make sure that even if the system elf.h doesn't have ELF_COMPRESS_ZSTD
defined it can still be used as constant. Also update libelf.h
documentation and add new feature to NEWS.

    decompress or an ELFCOMPRESS algorithm to use for compression.
