add zcat symlink support, suggested by @wtarreau

added some test
also updated relevant doc

+ fixed a mistake in `lz4` symlink support :
  lz4 utility doesn't remove source files by default (like zstd, but unlike gzip).
  The symlink must behave the same.

`zstd` scope can be altered by modifying the following `make` variables :
- __HAVE_THREAD__ : multithreading is automatically enabled when `pthread` is detected.
It's possible to disable multithread support, by setting HAVE_THREAD=0 .
Example : make zstd HAVE_THREAD=0
It's also possible to force compilation with multithread support, using HAVE_THREAD=1.
In which case, linking stage will fail if `pthread` library cannot be found.
This might be useful to prevent silent feature disabling.
- __HAVE_ZLIB__ : `zstd` can compress and decompress files in `.gz` format.
This is ordered through command `--format=gzip`.
Alternatively, symlinks named `gzip` or `gunzip` will mimic intended behavior.
`.gz` support is automatically enabled when `zlib` library is detected at build time.

This might be useful to prevent silent feature disabling.
- __HAVE_LZMA__ : `zstd` can compress and decompress files in `.xz` and `.lzma` formats.
This is ordered through commands `--format=xz` and `--format=lzma` respectively.
Alternatively, symlinks named `xz`, `unxz`, `lzma`, or `unlzma` will mimic intended behavior.

This is useful to ensure this feature is not silently disabled.
- __ZSTD_LEGACY_SUPPORT__ : `zstd` can decompress files compressed by older versions of `zstd`.
Starting v0.8.0, all versions of `zstd` produce frames compliant with the [specification](../doc/zstd_compression_format.md), and are therefore compatible.

if `ZSTD_LEGACY_SUPPORT >= 8`, it's the same as `0`, since there is no legacy format after `7`.

#### Aggregation of parameters
CLI supports aggregation of parameters i.e. `-b1`, `-e18`, and `-i1` can be joined into `-b1e18i1`.
#### Symlink shortcuts
It's possible to invoke `zstd` through a symlink.
When the name of the symlink has a specific value, it triggers an associated behavior.
- `zstdmt` : compress using all cores available on local system.
- `zcat` : will decompress and output target file using any of the supported formats. `gzcat` and `zstdcat` are also equivalent.
- `gzip` : if zlib support is enabled, will mimic `gzip` by compressing file using `.gz` format, removing source file by default (use `--keep` to preserve). If zlib is not supported, triggers an error.
- `xz` : if lzma support is enabled, will mimic `xz` by compressing file using `.xz` format, removing source file by default (use `--keep` to preserve). If xz is not supported, triggers an error.
- `lzma` : if lzma support is enabled, will mimic `lzma` by compressing file using `.lzma` format, removing source file by default (use `--keep` to preserve). If lzma is not supported, triggers an error.
- `lz4` : if lz4 support is enabled, will mimic `lz4` by compressing file using `.lz4` format. If lz4 is not supported, triggers an error.
- `unzstd` and `unlz4` will decompress any of the supported format.
- `ungz`, `unxz` and `unlzma` will do the same, and will also remove source file by default (use `--keep` to preserve).
