performance test suite file

Integrate ZLib-ng into Harlequin Core for all platforms.

Improved performance of decompression.

Affects performance: This has a variable effect on performance, for example jobs that achieve a lot of re-use using HVD benefit less from this because images are often only decompressed once. Jobs with one large image at high resolution that were highly compressible benefit more, up to 200% of the decompression operation the RIP must perform.
