There is no need to tell people to install libz if flashrom doesn't need libz
So far, the only case where libz is needed is when a library (libpci) pulls in libz and even then it only happens if libpci is available in a static version only and said static version has libz requirements. Check for libpci separately and don't require libz if it isn't needed. Clarify the README. Corresponding to flashrom svn r743.
