However this ends up not really being solo, since it has to
include external libraries.

There have been many reports of bugs in the assembler codes
intended to speed up deflate and inflate. They are third-party
contributions in contrib, and so are not supported by the zlib
maintainers.

Also declare z_size_t when compiling solo.

Limit read() and write() requests to sizes that fit in an int.
This allows storing the return value in an int, and avoiding the
need to use or construct an ssize_t type. This is required for
Microsoft C, whose _read and _write functions take an unsigned
request and return an int.

Per request, but its utility is likely to be very limited. See the
comments in zlib.h.

Normally these are set to size_t and ssize_t. But if they do not
exist, then they are set to the smallest integer type that can
contain a pointer. size_t is unsigned and ssize_t is signed.

gzsetparams() was using Z_PARTIAL_FLUSH when it could use Z_BLOCK
instead. This commit uses Z_BLOCK, which avoids emitting an
unnecessary ten bits into the stream.

In some cases the return values did not match the documentation,
or the documentation did not document all of the return values.
gzprintf() now consistently returns negative values on error,
which matches the behavior of the stdio fprintf() function.

The previous code slid the window and the hash table and copied
every input byte three times in order to just write the data as
stored blocks with no compression. This commit minimizes sliding
and copying, especially for large input and output buffers.

Level 0 compression is now more than 20 times faster than before
the commit.

Most of the speedup is due to deferring hash table slides until
deflateParams() is called to change the compression level away
from 0. More speedup is due to copying directly from next_in to
next_out when the amounts of available input data and output space
permit it, avoiding the intermediate pending buffer. Additionally,
only the last 32K of the used input data is copied back to the
sliding window when large input buffers are provided.

This alters the specification in zlib.h, so that deflateParams()
will not change any parameters if there is not enough output space
in the event that a block is emitted in order to allow switching
the compression function.

When debugging the Huffman coding would warn about resulting codes
greater than 15 bits in length. This is handled properly, and is
not uncommon. This increases the verbosity of the warning by one,
so that it is not displayed by default.
