Description:
This is a feature request.

Currently, the clone plugin supports Legacy Connection Compression.
As a result, it is not possible to use Connection Compression with zstd.
Legacy Connection Compression has been deprecated since version 8.0.18, so I would like to support the new Connection Compression and enable the use of zstd compression.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/connection-compression-control.html

I will send you the patch.
The following settings are added in the patch to enable the new Connection Compression.

- clone_compression_algorithms
  - By default, uncompressed is set, and if clone_enable_compression = true, Legacy Connection Compression is prioritized.
  - ex) clone_compression_algorithms='zstd,zlib,uncompressed'

- clone_zstd_compression_level
  - The default is 3, and values can be set in the range from 1 to 22.
  - ex) clone_zstd_compression_level=3

I have confirmed that this patch works with 8.4.4.

How to repeat:
This is a feature request.

Suggested fix:
Implement the system variables described in the Description into the clone plugin.
Use the MySQL C API to set the current system variables values together with MYSQL_OPT_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHMS/MYSQL_OPT_ZSTD_COMPRESSION_LEVEL in mysql_options.
