[R]: Is zlib actually enabled by default? #55501
Description
Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
We have https://github.com/jonkeane/arrow/blob/1287cd468464fb983952d068035a60b5500606cd/r/inst/build_arrow_static.sh#L108 which sometimes sets zlib to off by default, however when investigating other things, I ran into this output:
zlib (gzip) defaults to OFF, but CMake forces it on. Parquet needs Thrift, and Thrift turns on ARROW_WITH_ZLIB (ThirdpartyToolchain.cmake:393-395).
If this is true, maybe we only need this off in the truly minimal build? It won't change much functionally, but would clean up an inconsistency in our build
