use CodecZlib.jl instead of Libz.jl

I no longer actively maintain Libz.jl. We should use CodecZlib.jl if possible.

No one has set appveyor up here yet so this would need to be tested. Why do you think this has anything to do with that Pkg3 issue?

I didn't test it, neither. The issue (https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg3.jl/issues/190) seems to be due to a symbolic link used in BufferedStreams.jl, which is a dependency of Libz.jl, which is used in WinRPM.jl. This change does not solve the issue itself, but at least I think it will go away if WinRPM.jl uses CodecZlib.jl instead. Anyway, using Libz.jl is not recommended.
