Back in bug 1307886, I wanted to keep the code around, but months later, I think we can remove it.

Since bug 1307886, we don't actually use szip anymore, and don't even
have the option to package Fennec using it. We can thus remove the
support for loading them, as well as on demand linkage.

The latter might mean we can remove the segfault handler, but it's
unclear whether this is currently working around other issues with
registering signal handlers, so we'll leave that to a followup.
