zlib: Add support for building with Chromium's zlib implementation
This change builds libgit2 using Chromium's zlib implementation by
invoking cmake with `-DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB=ON -DUSE_CHROMIUM_ZLIB=ON`,
which is ~10% faster than the bundled zlib for the core::zstream suite.
This version of zlib has some optimizations:
a) Decompression (Intel+ARM): inflate_fast, adler32, crc32, etc.
b) Compression (Intel): fill_window, longest_match, hash function, etc.
Due to the introduction of SIMD optimizations, and to get the maximum
performance out of this fork of zlib, this requires an x86_64 processor
with SSE4.2 and CLMUL (anything Westmere or later, ~2010). The Chromium
zlib implementation also supports ARM with NEON, but it has not been
enabled in this patch.
Performance
===========
TL;DR: Running just `./libgit2_clar -score::zstream` 100 times in a loop
took 0:56.30 before and 0:50.67 after (~10% reduction!).
The bundled and system zlib implementations on an Ubuntu Focal system
perform relatively similar (the bundled one is marginally better due to
the compiler being able to inline some functions), so only the bundled
and Chromium zlibs were compared.
For a more balanced comparison (to ensure that nothing regressed
overall), `libgit2_clar` under `perf` was also run, and the zlib-related
functions were compared.
