    • zlib: Add support for building with Chromium's zlib implementation · 83265b3e
      This change builds libgit2 using Chromium's zlib implementation by
      invoking cmake with `-DUSE_BUNDLED_ZLIB=ON -DUSE_CHROMIUM_ZLIB=ON`,
      which is ~10% faster than the bundled zlib for the core::zstream suite.
      
      This version of zlib has some optimizations:
      
      a) Decompression (Intel+ARM): inflate_fast, adler32, crc32, etc.
      b) Compression (Intel): fill_window, longest_match, hash function, etc.
      
      Due to the introduction of SIMD optimizations, and to get the maximum
      performance out of this fork of zlib, this requires an x86_64 processor
      with SSE4.2 and CLMUL (anything Westmere or later, ~2010). The Chromium
      zlib implementation also supports ARM with NEON, but it has not been
      enabled in this patch.
      
      Performance
      ===========
      
      TL;DR: Running just `./libgit2_clar -score::zstream` 100 times in a loop
      took 0:56.30 before and 0:50.67 after (~10% reduction!).
      
      The bundled and system zlib implementations on an Ubuntu Focal system
      perform relatively similar (the bundled one is marginally better due to
      the compiler being able to inline some functions), so only the bundled
      and Chromium zlibs were compared.
      
      For a more balanced comparison (to ensure that nothing regressed
      overall), `libgit2_clar` under `perf` was also run, and the zlib-related
      functions were compared.
