Improve IBM Z patch
Most of this is minor changes to use GNU style and C99 constructs. * NEWS: Mention IBM Z. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add stdalign. * dfltcc.c: Include stdalign.h, stdbool.h. (union aligned_dfltcc_qaf_param, union aligned_dfltcc_param_v0): New types, used for C11-style alignment. All uses changed. (init_param): * gzip.c (BUFFER_ALIGNED): New macro. (inbuf, outbuf, window): Use it, so buffers are aligned everywhere. * gzip.h (INBUFSIZ, OUTBUFSIZE): Use big buffers everywhere, unless SMALL_MEM. * zip.c (SLOW, FAST): Now enums since they need not be macros:
