Bug Description
Please sync libzstd 1.3.1+dfsg-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)
Explanation of FeatureFreeze exception:
1.3.1 is a general improvement of zstd over 1.2.0,
especially for multi-threading code path.
It also features a more powerful advanced API for developpers.
sync to 1.3.1 should be done as preliminary step to back-porting into Ubuntu LTS Xenial, which is the final objective.
