ARM64 builds needs build dependency on libz-dev inorder to support compressed kernels. The attached patch adds that support. Note. amd64 and i386 do not have this dependency, I tested the current zesty version of the kexec-tools on amd64 and i386 and it works. The patch only apply to ARM64 build.

[TEST]
== Before Patch ==
ubuntu@test:~$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-15-generic --append="root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs vt.handoff=7"
Cannot determine the file type of /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic

== After Patch ==
ubuntu@test:~$ sudo kexec -l /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-15-generic --initrd=/boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-15-generic --append="root=LABEL=cloudimg-rootfs vt.handoff=7"
