Announcement: Retiring zlib and minizip-compat from Rawhide

[Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho]

The zlib-ng-compat and minizip-ng-compat packages have been in Rawhide for
more than a month.
Considering things have been working well, we believe it's time to retire the
zlib and minizip-compat packages.

This step should not cause any changes, because zlib-ng-compat and
minizip-ng-compat already obsoleted them.
However, if you find any issues, please contact us.

Great work on this BTW.  In my tests it improves zlib uncompression
speed by something like 40%, which for a few tasks (unpacking qcow2
files was one) noticably improves overall performance.

I hope this is the last time I have to deal with minizip invasive 
changes (both upstream and downstream).
With the new keepassxc release, I had to test it against all minizip* 
packages on all active branches

Fingers crossed and thanks for your work on KeePassXC.
