Install zlib using tarball #150

A while back I had a discussion (probably with @j8xixo12) for whether to use tarball for installing zlib. I did not remember what was the conclusion, but for now we still pull down the source code from git: https://github.com/solvcon/devenv/blob/fb0e4943866bf117dcd2d8f53ab40b37394c90e7/scripts/build.d/zlib#L9

I think using tarball is a more efficient and stable approach for building it and we should make it the default for the package.

I remember the conclusion of that discussion is use tarball, but forgot to modified the build script.

I see. I am assigning this issue to you and could you please make a tarball version when there's time?
