[PATCH v3 01/10] compat: drop `uncompress2()` compatibility shim

In-Reply-To
<20250116-b4-pks-compat-drop-uncompress2-v3-0-f2af1f5c4a06@pks.im>

Our compat library has an implementation of zlib's `uncompress2()` function that gets used when linking against an old version of zlib that doesn't yet have it. The last user of `uncompress2()` got removed in 15a60b747e (reftable/block: open-code call to `uncompress2()`, 2024-04-08), so the compatibility code is not required anymore. Drop it.
