Description

Summary

Currently there are not many options available when running the Zlib operations (Zlib defalte/inflate, gzip/gunzip, raw deflate/inflate). It would be useful to be able to change the compression levels and various other features.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current Zlib operation implementations in CyberChef and identify where compression level and other options can be passed to the underlying library.
