Details:

Background: I am using lwip's awesome http server on a Raspberry Pi Pico board
that has "only" 2MByte of flash memory. In order to save space and since I
know that HTML, JS, CSS and SVG files compress very well, I thought of adding
this feature ti makefsdata.c. I investigated a bit and settled on brotli
compression. When it was finished (master...kripton:brotli), I found out that
basically all browser only support brotli on https connections. However, I was
delighted that makefadata already supports deflate compression. Unfortunately,
the file minizip.c needs to be manually downloaded and put into the source
folder. To avoid this, I extended it to use the system's zlib instead, which
is usually already present on most GNU/Linux systems.

I created a pull request on GitHub (https://github.com/lwip-tcpip/lwip/pull/1)
but was asked to rather submit a patch here. Done with this submission :)
