These small changes to server and (gtk) client seem to work, and
remove both the zlib header/trailer from the deflate stream as well

as well as speedup (unnoticeable) of the compression/decompression
due to the removal of the checksum calculation.

Problem is - not sure how to test it - don't know how to get an
image once with and once without the patch - and ensure it's the
same image.
The fact that the first image is never zlib compressed complicates
things. I could not reliably get a 2nd image sent to the client
which looks the same as one in a different connection.

Nevertheless it does no harm - and images pass well - verified by
connecting with a modified Spice GTK client to a modified Spice
server, as well as looking at the network capture via wireshark.

It's of course missing the display channel specific capability
negotiation for this change.

I'm afraid I could not really find where to perform the display channel specific capability negotiation. :(
Anyone?

TIA,
Y.

Comments are welcome.
Other then that adding a link to the docs page of
inlateInit2/deflateInit2 in the commit message would be nice for those
seeking to find the explanation for the magic numbers, no comment,
thanks for doing this!

If you want a repeatable test you can write one or use one of the
existing artificial tests in server/tests.
