H. Peter Anvin df4555d68b preproc: compress standard macros with zlib
The very simple compression scheme used for the builtin macro sets no
longer works adequately, and in fact it generates incorrect output
now.

Drop the whole idea of an ad hoc compression scheme and just use
zlib. For the case where there is no system zlib available, include a
(subset of) the zlib distribution. The configure script can be set to
force this included zlib if desired (e.g. for testing.)

Unfortunately this turned out to be a pretty painful can of worms in
terms of complexity. On the other hand having zlib available might be
useful at some point in the future.
