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.
