[PATCH v4 06/10] compat/zlib: provide stubs for `deflateSetHeader()`

From

Message-ID
<20250128-b4-pks-compat-drop-uncompress2-v4-6-129bc36ae8f5@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20250128-b4-pks-compat-drop-uncompress2-v4-0-129bc36ae8f5@pks.im>

The function `deflateSetHeader()` has been introduced 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.
