Title: Zlib crc improvements

The main change here is that CRC32Ext and Adler32Ext were replaced/inlined into RubyZlib. The abstractions are not used elsewhere in the code, and considering the obvious copy-paste errors in CRC32Ext, I'm guessing they haven't been used outside RubyZlib.

For Adler32, the reflection trick previously used was replaced with a call to adler32_combine, which has reasonable performance (and does not rely on accessing a private field).

For CRC32, we still (conditionally) use the reflection trick for optimum performance as using crc32_combine completely dominates the runtime for anything but really long byte lists. Compared to the previous version, we at least fall back on a slower solution in the unlikely even that the private variable name would change in a future release.

For both cases, this change optimises the normal case (with default starting checksums) to not perform any additional computation. Thus, the normal case neither requires reflection, nor slow calls to combine.

While changing the RubyZlib class, the TODO regarding using the CRC-32 table from JZlib was resolved as well.
