    Fix FTBFS with GCC 15
    
    Both compression algorithms and ciphers are stored in function arrays,
    which aren't declared with all arguments. This is no longer supported in
    C23, which the default standard for GCC 15. Patch the function
    declarations so that they use a uniform interface to be specified in
    such arrays.
    
    This patch doesn't attempt to make all pointers forwarded as arguments
    agree in signedness, as major changes would be required throughout the
    code. Such changes aren't strictly required to build with GCC 15 and
    already affected the existing code for some algorithms and ciphers.
    
    This is split into two patches to make it easier to review and handle in
    the future.
