Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(snapshots): Compress preprod snapshot manifest with
 zstd

The preprod snapshot manifest can be large; send it as a zstd-compressed
JSON body so create_preprod_snapshot transfers fewer bytes over the wire.

Adds a with_zstd_json_body request builder that serializes the payload to
JSON, compresses it with zstd, and sets the Content-Encoding: zstd header.
