third_party: Remove zlib from third_party
We require zlib 1.2.3. We stopped requring a patched zlib with 5631a1b9bc03d6cf31af66b13872255f18979fe8 As discussed on samba-technical here: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2019-May/133476.html In short, zlib contains some (old, now broken) crypto code that while not compiled in Samba is best left out of our tarball to ease crypto audits. It is also very very out of date and is a slightly modified copy of something otherwise very likely available on our supported host OSs. It would be strange to say that GnuTLS and dependencies are an acceptable burden to install but say zlib is a step to far. So it is removed from Samba's third_party with this commit. The diff between zlib in Samba and official zlib 1.2.3 is included in third_party/zlib/last-samba-from-1.2.3.diff Signed-off-by: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Alexander Bokovoy <ab@samba.org>

-This is a patched version of zlib, modified to use
-Pentium-Pro-optimized assembly code in the deflation algorithm. The
-files changed/added by this patch are:
-
-README.686
-match.S
-
-The speedup that this patch provides varies, depending on whether the
-compiler used to build the original version of zlib falls afoul of the
-PPro's speed traps. My own tests show a speedup of around 10-20% at
-the default compression level, and 20-30% using -9, against a version
-compiled using gcc 2.7.2.3. Your mileage may vary.
-
-Note that this code has been tailored for the PPro/PII in particular,
-and will not perform particuarly well on a Pentium.
-
-If you are using an assembler other than GNU as, you will have to
-translate match.S to use your assembler's syntax. (Have fun.)

-Added for zlib 1.1.3:
-
-The patches come from
-http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html
-
-To compile zlib with this asm file, copy match.S to the zlib directory
-then do:
-
-CFLAGS="-O3 -DASMV" ./configure
-make OBJA=match.o
