Freetype fails to find freetype on macos (Mac mini M2 with only XCode
installed):

    src/checkdep_freetype2.c:8:10: fatal error: 'ft2build.h' file not
found
    #include <ft2build.h>
             ^~~~~~~~~~~~
    2 errors generated.
    error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1

Sage skips installing zlib on macos because it is installed as part of
XCode. The freetype configuration uses freetype-config which ends up
using pkg-config to find zlib. In their infinite wisdom, Apple does not
ship the .pc file:

    vbraun@Mini-M2 local % ./bin/freetype-config
    Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    Package 'zlib', required by 'libpng', not found
    Package zlib was not found in the pkg-config search path.
    Perhaps you should add the directory containing `zlib.pc'
    to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
    Package 'zlib', required by 'libpng', not found

Solution is to require a zlib.pc file via PKG_CHECK_MODULES([zlib], ...
