[PATCH 1/2] configure: add a fallback check for zlib

Xīcò xico at atelo.org

Since zlib is part of the base system, FreeBSD chose not to register it
in pkg-config through zlib.pc. As a fallback test, configure will build
and run a zlib version check and make sure the header and library
versions are compatible.
