b25eb6e0bd CMake: Introduce zlib find script to work around hardcoded iOS SDK
Xcode allows building a project targeting either the device or
simulator sysroot in one single build dir, but for the sysroot
switching to work there should be no linker or compiler flags
referencing absolute paths of a specific sysroot.

During CMake configuration of a project targeting iOS, all found
system libraries will be within one single sysroot, either the device
one or the simulator one, whichever one was passed to
CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT. CMake will then generate the Xcode project
and pass those absolute paths, which makes sysroot switching within
Xcode not work.

To avoid that, the CMake documentation recommends passing linker and
framework flags of the form '-lfoo' and '-framework bar' instead of
absolute paths. Xcode then takes care of setting the correct framework
search path.

Zlib is one of the libraries found in the iOS sysroot and thus passed
as absolute path.
To avoid that, create a new FindWrapZLIB find script. The target it
creates will pass the absolute path to the library on non Apple
platforms and an -lz linker flag on Apple platforms (macOS and iOS).

To avoid issues with target global promotion when system PNG package
is found, ensure that a found ZLIB::ZLIB target is promoted to global
manually in src/gui/configure.cmake.

Pick-to: 6.1
