Qing He afe4dec809 zlib: upgrade to version 1.2.5
from 1.2.3
update homepage and license

changes:
  - remove 1.2.3.3 patch
  - breakdown autotools.patch to configure.ac and Makefile.am, update
    src in Makefile.am and use do_configure_prepend instead
  - remove README from LIC_FILES_CHKSUM because it duplicates zlib.h
    and also causes checksum to change for every release
  - remove visibility.patch: the purpose of the patch was to change
    "<type> ZEXPORT" to "ZEXPORT <type>", however:
     1. the use of ZEXPORT and ZEXTERN have been changed a lot in
        zlib, there is no changelog to indicate which version was
        the patch based on and its rationale
     2. zlib used to set default visibility to `hidden'
        (-fvisibility=hidden), and override external symbols with
        `default' visibility, it had caused a lot of problems on
        different platforms. But starting from 1.2.5, default
        visibility is now `default', `hidden' visibility override
        has effect only for the correct GCC versions, most visibility
        related issues should have already been fixed

     3. as for now, ZEXPORT is used in Win/BeOS only, and can expand
        to WINAPI or __declspec(dllexport), both of which should be
        put behind return type, so there is no need to patch

     In conclusion, the patch is not applicable for the current release,
     so it's removed
