Adress review comments from https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/13977 by using the same naming convention as zstd. And by using `finish()` instead of `close()` for the finalisation of the compressed stream. rationale: - it is not the same as how close() is usually used, since it must be called to flush and write the final bytes. And as such it may fail. - it is not the same `flush` in the deflate code, which allows to keep writting more bytes later, and doesn't write the final checksum. - it is the same name as used in the original zlib library (Z_FINISH) Also, use a packed struct for the header, which seems a better fit.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
