Research direction

Compare programs/README.md with the current embedded help text, v1.5.7 help text, and man page. Check the documented default thread setting and whether --max is listed, then update the affected documentation so all references match; done means the README, help text, and man page are consistent.

Description

documentation

https://github.com/facebook/zstd/blob/dev/programs/README.md still says that the default is -T1 and omits --max. The embedded help text doesn't seem to be up-to-date.

v1.5.7 help text and man page are also affected.
