Remove dead HTS_USEZLIB guards now that zlib is mandatory

configure has rejected --without-zlib since #750, and htsglobal.h
#errors on a forced HTS_USEZLIB=0, so the macro can only ever be 1.
Collapse every #if/#ifdef HTS_USEZLIB guard (htsweb.c, htsname.c,
htslib.c, htszlib.c, htsselftest.c, htscodec.c) to its always-taken
branch; htsweb.c's guard used #ifdef where every other site used #if,
an inconsistency that no longer matters once the guard is gone.

htscodec.c's #else arms were a genuine zlib-free content-coding path
(Accept-Encoding: identity, hts_codec_unpack returning -1), not stubs.
Removed for consistency with the other nine guards: the cache
(htscache.c, proxy/store.c) already reaches minizip unconditionally
from ~60 call sites with no null backend, so a zlib-free build is not
actually reachable today regardless of this file.

No new test: this is dead-code removal with no behavior change.
Verified by differential build against master: htscodec.o and
htszlib.o are byte-identical; the other touched objects differ only
in __LINE__ immediates shifted by the removed guard lines (plus one
cosmetic objdump label-annotation artifact each in htsselftest.o and
htsweb.o, from string-literal pool reordering). Exported symbols in
libhttrack.so are unchanged. make check: 166/166 (158 pass, 8 skip).
