configure: Auto-detect libz unless explicitly requested

If user did not pass --with-zlib and it is not available, simply turn
off rule compat expression compression. It is not strictly necessary and
users may not care.

While at it, drop the conditional AC_DEFINE() call: In fact,
AC_CHECK_LIB() does that already.

Fixes: ff5f6a208efcc ("nft-ruleparse: Fallback to compat expressions in userdata")
