add support for dual gzip/zstd image support

placeholder to match/support efforts ongoing in main repo.

tldr the version of rpm-ostree in F39 is too old and will error out when it sees a zstd compressed image.

p5 is in progress of adding support to our workflows to push both gzip and zstd to the same image. Fedora will publish zstd:chunked by default for F41, but they are just now switching to OCI so they don't have previous users to transition. Bluefin will push both gzip/zstd in F40 to slurp up upgrading users from GTS, and then F41 will be zstd:chunked only.

We should encourage zstd:chunked as the default, but should probably have the option to push to both with comments so people don't end up in a situation where their older custom image can't upgrade.

Feels like I'm encountering this issue, how would one enable this exactly? Is it just about enabling oci for the redhat-actions/buildah-build@v2 action?

@Venefilyn Change runner to ubuntu-24.04, ubuntu-latest is still using 22.04, and 22.04's Podman didn't support zstd.

Hi, @bsherman. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the image-template team manage their backlog. I'm marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You requested support for dual gzip and zstd image formats.
• @castrojo noted that Fedora 39's rpm-ostree is outdated and won't support zstd, with Fedora 41 expected to default to zstd:chunked.
• @Venefilyn mentioned a related issue and asked about enabling OCI for a GitHub action.
• @xlionjuan suggested using ubuntu-24.04 as the runner for zstd support, as ubuntu-latest uses 22.04, which lacks this support in Podman.

Next Steps:

• Please confirm if this issue is still relevant to the latest version of the image-template repository by commenting here.
• If there is no response, the issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
