Add ZLib as a built-in dependency
I don't know if this is good or bad. This lets libgit2 compile cleanly on any platforms without any external dependencies, but adds a little bit of bloat... Let's test this out and see what happens.

Building libgit2 - External dependencies
========================================
-The following libraries are required to manually build the libgit2 library:
-
-* zlib 1.2+ <http://www.zlib.net/>
-
-When building in Windows using MSVC, make sure you compile ZLib using the MSVC solution that ships in its source distribution.
-Alternatively, you may download precompiled binaries from: <http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/>
+libgit2 builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies. However, the following libraries
+may be used on some platforms.
* LibSSL **(optional)** <http://www.openssl.org/>
libgit2 can be built using the SHA1 implementation of LibSSL-Crypto, instead of the built-in custom implementations. Performance wise, they are quite similar.
