[Bug 1763838] [NEW] [FFe] apt 1.6~rc1, zstd & hook support

[Julian Andres Klode]

Public bug reported:

As discussed previously, we want to have zstd support in 16.04 to
evaluate and potentially enable it in later releases. We also want to
add hooks for snap integration to apt, this release is supposed to add
them to.

The concrete code is still undergoing review, some option names might
change for the hooks before release (e.g. pre-download might become pre-
install-prompt, and the AptCli::Hooks config section only gets Install
and Search lists for hooks to register, rather than individual pre-,
post-, and fail- lists).

The attached patch is thus preliminary but should be fairly identical to
the final result.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
