Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [Github] Make Windows container use zstd

This enables much faster image unpack times. We benchmarked 20-30%
improvements when testing this initially. Use skopeo to copy the image
as it just works over the docker-archive/OCI container formats and does
not need to unpack the image to upload it.
