We have a pile of conditionals and extra code in CPython to deal with building on systems that do not have zlib.  The zlib C library has been around forever at this point and should be present on every system in the world.

zlib is already required on Windows to build CPython.

Proposal: simplify our code by removing the conditionals around zlib being optional.  I'm attaching a draft PR to show what this would look like.
