docs should mention that compression.zstd and other modules are optional #139707
Description
Documentation
The compression.zstd docs page and 3.14 what's new changelog entry neglect to mention that compression.zstd is an optional build time dependency. The import will fail when cpython is built without libzstd:
import compression.zstd # noqa: I900
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
/opt/python/3.14/lib/python3.14/compression/zstd/__init__.py:29: in <module>
import _zstd
E ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_zstd'
