Travis now offers Ubuntu Trusty (14.04 LTS) VMs as test runners, which
is gradually becoming the default. We can opt in to using Trusty now
so that we no longer need to manually update zlib to a newer version.

If the additional load on the web server is undesired, Travis can be
instructed to cache the file.
