Remove limited use HAVE_ZLIB wrapper API into separate header as
utils.h is used in many places and most source files don't need
to drag in the header file from this external dependency.

When constifying there is this inconsistent quirk in this API returning
'filename' or a malloced storage. When special handling needs to be
made by the caller to detect this to decide if it needs a free.
This appears to done to save a strdup().
Make it always return a malloc block so the API contract is
strightforward to the caller. A non-NULL return requires
free() by the caller.
supported). Fixed the long-standing issue in which DRC does not
get stopped by the "drc off" command (the behavior for interrupting
the DRC was dependent on the DRC being turned on, and the "drc off"
command was turning it off before breaking, causing the interrupt
to be ignored).
This commit makes the code (mostly) C99-compatible, enabling to compile
it without the -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration flag. This
way, Magic becomes usable on arm64 architectures, specifically on Apple
computers with M1/M2 SoC.
whenever a process writes a cell to disk, it immediately releases the
file lock it had on that cell, which is clearly not the intent of file
locking. Fixed this issue. On a related topic, revised the "cellname
writeable" command so that it can make a cell editable even if the cell
has an advisory lock and cannot be made writeable. Perhaps there should
be a clearer distinction here between "writeable" and "editable". Also:
Reconsidered the previous commit, which removed the "--disable-locking"
from the configuration options. Because some operating systems may not
implement fnctl()-based file locking (Cygwin, for one, apparently doesn't),
it is still useful to be able to completely remove the function, in case
the operating system will fail to recognize the fnctl() values in the
code. Now, file locking behavior can be permanently removed through the
configuration option, or temporarily disabled from the command line.
