WIP Register fst file format

Don't merge yet, we first need to sort out various things in the upstream packages.

Are there really no magic bytes? In this case fst seems to mean several things:

  • https://fileinfo.com/extension/fst
  • http://whatis.techtarget.com/fileformat/FST-Linkable-program-dBFast
  • https://github.com/fstpackage/fst

I bet you don't mean the first, but even knowing you I can't guess which of the other two you're hoping to support.

I’m trying to find out. This will hopefully support the third format.

Because we asked them to, they are actually adding a magic byte into the next version :) I'll follow up on this once everything is ready, will probably still be a while.
