datasets/helper.py: use zstandard library for .zst decompression

Browse Source 
The Python environment runs inside a Singularity container that cannot
exec the host's /usr/bin/zstd via subprocess. Replace the subprocess
call with the zstandard Python library, which was already a dependency.
Other formats (bz2, xz, gz) still use subprocess as before.
