Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the zlib-ng library from version 2.2.4 to 2.2.5, marking this as a trial of an upstream pull request with the goal of getting test coverage. The update includes version string updates, build system improvements, and performance optimizations particularly for x86 and RISC-V architectures.
Key changes include:
- Version number updates across multiple files and build configurations
- Improvements to x86 feature detection and AVX512VNNI intrinsics handling
- Enhanced RISC-V architecture support with new toolchain configurations
- Build system refinements including additional compiler flag checks for Apple platforms

I've confirmed this fixes the performance regression in highly compressible data that we reported.

The dotnet/performance benchmark results look mostly a wash to me - which is to be expected since those didn't catch the original regression (due to small payload sizes). |

For the test mentioned in dotnet/performance#4900: MihuBot/runtime-utils#1362

Update: 8/7/2025 -- this is now ready to merge as zlib-ng published the release https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng/releases/tag/2.2.5
This is a trial of zlib-ng/zlib-ng#1943 with the goal of getting test coverage. We should update with final hash/tag once it's merged.We should see if we can get performance results on this.
