[Bug 1983255] [NEW] samtools-legacy misses 'Remove compressBound assertions' (PR #1258) fix

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

samtools-legacy is the source package for libbam-dev,
which is used by libbio-samtools-perl (autopkgtests),
that is for example triggered by a zlib update (proposed-transition).

zlib requires a fix for 'compressBound() returns an incorrect result on
z15' LP#1961427 that again requires the 'Remove compressBound
assertions' (PR #1258) fix in all bgzf.c implementations, like htslib,
bedtools or even samtools-legacy.

Problematic is that the code differs quite a bit from the one where the
PR#1258 was designed for and that is used in the htslib or bedtools
package (no bgzf_hopen - looks a bit out of date), so it does not apply
cleanly.

According to upstream 'https://github.com/lh3/samtools-legacy' the project
is "For testing only." and marked as "DON'T USE!" and it's last update
is from Nov 9, 2013.
