libzip5 missing from hirsute?

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi Thomas,

the libzip5 was uncoordinated between the maintainers, so I have reverted
it. The whole reason for the SONAME bump was to remove one dummy function,
and somehow I failed to see the reason for the transition to the new SONAME
just for the single-function API cleanup. This might change in bullseye+1
just to keep the soname same with other distributions.
