gnu: rsync: Use system zlib and popt libraries.
Reduce our likelihood of contracting security bugs at the expense of
compression ratio (in some cases) and compatibility with rsync≤3.1.1.

rsync@3.1.2 was released in 2014.  Time to upgrade your CentOS box.

* gnu/packages/rsync.scm (rsync)[inputs]: Add popt and zlib.
[arguments]: Use them.
