If we're using the system zlib instead of the bundled zlib, we should 
verify that it includes all relevant functions. We now rely on the 
inflateValidate() function, which was introduced in zlib 1.2.9 which is 
very recent. This patch adds a test to the system zlib to verify this 
and to fail fast in case it's too old.
