This adds zlib to Crashpad. By default in standalone Crashpad builds,
the system zlib will be used where available. A copy of Chromium’s zlib
(currently a slightly patched 1.2.11) is checked out via DEPS into
third_party for use on Windows, which does not have a system zlib.
zlib is used to produce gzip streams for HTTP upload request bodies sent
by crashpad_handler by default. The Content-Encoding: gzip header is set
for these compressed request bodies. Compression can be disabled for
upload to servers without corresponding decompression support by
starting crashpad_handler with the --no-upload-gzip option.
Most minidumps compress quite well with zlib. A size reduction of 90% is
not uncommon.

This might feel a bit premature, but I feel fairly confident that basing
a lot of the processing on LLDB is the way to go, so I plan to start by
integrating it into our build process.
(I think probably moving from gyp to GN first makes sense, so I can defer
landing this until after that's farther along if you like.)
