*: use libz-sys instead of bundled one

BusyJay · BusyJay · commit 9679f248f611 · 2019-12-20T20:44:06.000+08:00
When using the built-in cmake to build zlib, it changes the source tree as madler/zlib#162 describes. This leads to the failure during [generating the docs][1]. So let's switch to libz-sys instead, which uses its own custom script to build zlib, and leave source tree as it is. Switching to libz-sys can also reduce the package size as we can ignore more sub modules. It should improve compile time if libz-sys is also a dependency of other crates. The only shortcoming is that libz-sys may not be compatible with grpcio, but I believe the chance is quite small given it's such a small library. And giving it's such a small library, the benifits like compile time or package size described above may to too small to be observed. [1]: https://docs.rs/crate/grpcio/0.5.0-alpha.5/builds/196235.
