According to the zlib Changelog file pkgconfig support was added
in 2006 !

Changes in 1.2.3.1 (16 August 2006)

Given our target build platforms support guidelines

  https://qemu.weilnetz.de/doc/qemu-doc.html#Supported-build-platforms

we can safely say that all supported platforms will have a zlib
that contains pkgconfig support, so......

.... this fallback support for non-pkgconfig scenarios can be entirely
deleted, just leaving the error_exit message.
