Bug#1002056: ITP: zlib-ng -- optimized zlib compression library

[David Heidelberg <david@ixit.cz>]

Hello,

I think it already makes sense to push zlib-ng and let it co-exist with 
zlib since you can port your software directly to the zlib-ng, which I'm 
currently doing for Mesa3D.

I dropped the zlib-ng sources into https://salsa.debian.org/dh/zlib-ng 
feel free to force push there any Debian relevant changes.

After introducing the zlib-ng, we could continue to the second phase 
migrating software still relying on zlib to zlib-ng compat layer.

What do you think?

David
