Feature: Allow configuring the compression type and compression levels during export

Building on the zip export improvements, this now allows users to further configure the
zip to fit their needs.  A simple stored zip for speed, or a high compression zstd for
the smallest archive.  Full validation of the method and levels at the command line

+The compression method for the zip can be set with `--zip-compression`
+(`stored`, `deflated` (default), `bzip2`, `lzma`, or `zstd`) and tuned with
+`--zip-compression-level` (deflated: 0–9, bzip2: 1–9, zstd: -22–22; ignored

+!!! warning

+    `zstd` compression requires Python 3.14 or newer on **both** the machine
+    creating the export and any machine importing it. An archive compressed with
+    `zstd` (or `lzma`/`bzip2` where those modules are unavailable) cannot be

 If `--data-only` is provided, only the database will be exported. This option is intended
 to facilitate database upgrades without needing to clean documents and thumbnails from the media directory.
