This PR makes PackageConfig much smaller by using the fact that we are holding the original JSON as a string. We can then just use std::string_view instances safely for the rest of the components. This should improve the performance and reduce the memory usage.

Note: it is possible that this PR or the previous one might cause some breakage, but they should be essentially (conceptually) correct.

This function call can fail with `Z_VERSION_ERROR` if the compiled
library vs loaded library mismatched in version number or in
stream structure size.
In those cases, zlib doesn't initialize the `strm_.msg` field to
null. Therefore, when a `CompressionError` object is created via
`ErrorForMessage()`, it can read a stale or uninitialized `strm_.msg`
pointer that will cause a crash.
