Thanks!

As Miguel pointed out, we sync zstd in from upstream, so any changes here would
get overwritten next sync. If the idea is to just remove icc specific code for code
hygiene, I'd leave zstd as-is to keep it more in line with upstream. However, if there
is a very strong reason to delete it, we could remove it as part of our import process.

And if anything is broken, please open an issue on zstd's GitHub or email me.

Best,
Nick Terrell
