Change HltPackedDataWriter compression method

Lucas Meyer Garcia requested to merge tune_compression_packedDataWriter into master

Currently, HltDataPackedWriter uses the LZMA-6 algorithm to compress data. However, the ZSTD-5 algorithm is more efficient for this application.

Local testing showed that, compared to LZMA-6, ZSTD-5 reduces the execution time of HltDataPackedWriter by a factor of 5 while increasing the compressed buffer size by only 6%.

This is similar to what is shown in slide 10 of this presentation.
