Title:
  vcftools misses 'Remove compressBound assertions' (PR #1258) fix

Status in vcftools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  vcftools comes with it's own (bundled) version of bgzf.c (src/cpp/bgzf.c);
  which misses the fix for 'compressBound() returns an incorrect result on z15'.
  (this fix is required in all bgzf.c implementations, like htslib, bedtools or even samtools-legacy)

  Since the vcftools autopkgtest is triggered by the zlib proposed-migration,
  the missing fix vcftools lets the autopkgtest fails and with that blocks the zlib proposed migration LP#1961427.

  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one where the PR#1258 was designed for and that is used in the htslib or bedtools package (no bgzf_hopen - looks a bit out of date), so it does not apply cleanly.
  But it is very close (one line differs) to the backport of PR#1258 that is already used by samtools-legacy.
