Remove explicit dynamic loading of libz in native code
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6069
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6069
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Assignee: Todd Lipcon


The native zlib code currently uses dlopen/dlsym to dynamically load libz. This 
used to make sense when there was an lzo option (so you could load libhadoop 
for lzo purposes without requiring libz as well). Now that libhadoop only has 
zlib as an option, it makes sense to just add it as an ld flag and let it be 
automatically loaded as a shlib dependency. I also doubt that there are any 
distros where libz isn't required by the base system.
