[New-bugs-announce] [issue47193] Use zlib-ng rather than zlib in binary releases

[Gregory P. Smith]

New submission from Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org>:

zlib-ng is an optimized zlib library with better performance on most architectures (with contributions from the likes of Google, Cloudflare, and Intel).  It is API compatible with zlib.  https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng

I believe the only platform we don't use the OS's own zlib on is Windows so I'm tagging this issue Windows.
