I want to test out using zstd for the initramfs; so let's allow
configuring that by dropping a config file in /etc/dracut.conf.d
as intended.

Also, we should default to whatever dracut defaults to; and if
someone e.g. wants to force on something else, they can do that
via injecting /etc/dracut.conf.d too.

In current Fedora, the dracut default is still gzip, but compressed
in parallel via pigz.

(In a quick check, dracut --help on RHEL8 also says gzip is the default.)
