Move the test for querying version information out of the `core::features` test and into the `core::version` test.

Add the status of the zlib backend (builtin or external) to `git2_features.h`.
Provide a mechanism to understand the backend provider for feature within libgit2. For example, one can query the mechanism that provides HTTPS by asking for the backend for the `GIT_FEATURE_HTTPS`. This is particularly useful for features that are not completely isomorphic; the HTTPS providers may have slightly different functionality that can be controlled (eg, certificates or cipher support). And the SSH feature is _very_ different between libssh2 and OpenSSH. It may also be useful to understand the support for things like the SHA1 or SHA256 backends to ensure that sha1dc is used, or that FIPS mode is enabled.
