git-zlib: cast away potential constness of `next_in` pointer

The `struct git_zstream::next_in` variable points to the input data and is used in combination with `struct z_stream::next_in`. While that latter field is not marked as a constant in zlib, it is marked as such in zlib-ng. This causes a couple of compiler errors when we try to assign these fields to one another due to mismatching constness. Fix the issue by casting away the potential constness of `next_in`.
