[PATCH 6/8] compat/zlib: provide stubs for `deflateSetHeader()`

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date

Message-ID
<20250110-b4-pks-compat-drop-uncompress2-v1-6-965d0022a74d@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20250110-b4-pks-compat-drop-uncompress2-v1-0-965d0022a74d@pks.im>

The function `deflateSetHeader()` has been introduce with zlib v1.2.2.1, so we don't use it when linking against an older version of it. Refactor the code to instead provide a central stub via "compat/zlib.h" so that we can adapt it based on whether or not we use zlib-ng in a subsequent commit.
