This commit conversion the `miniz_oxide` crate to a `#![no_std]` library, and is as a result a breaking change for the library. Currently the only dependency on the `std` crate is the `std::io::Cursor` type, which is pretty easily replaced with a `usize` parameter in a few locations. The goal of this commit is to eventually enable this library to be included into the standard library itself. Dependencies of the standard library can't depend on the standard library as well! The reason for including this in the standard library is that the `backtrace` crate wants to decompress DWARF information in executables, which can be compressed with zlib.

I realize that this is a large-ish change to this library, so I'm happy to answer any questions as well about this if y'all have any! |

I should also mention that this will need some dependency and feature voodoo to actually enable it to build as part of libstd's dependency chain, but this needs to wait for that PR to be merged/published so it can enable the feature here. |

With remram44/adler32-rs#15 merged I've updated the manifest here as well to be suitable for compiling as part of libstd itself. |

This looks good to me so far. |

@oyvindln mind publishing this too to crates.io as 0.4.0 so I can start updating deps to include it for libstd? |

Will do once I've looked over everything. |
