all: use zstdframe where sensible (#11491)

Use the zstdframe package where sensible instead of plumbing
around our own zstd.Encoder just for stateless operations.

This causes logtail to have a dependency on zstd,
but that's arguably okay since zstd support is implicit
to the protocol between a client and the logging service.
Also, virtually every caller to logger.NewLogger was
manually setting up a zstd.Encoder anyways,
meaning that zstd was functionally always a dependency.
