zlib: fix node crashing on invalid options

This commit fixes the Node process crashing when constructors of classes
of the zlib module are given invalid options.

* Throw an Error when the zlib library rejects the value of windowBits,
  instead of crashing with an assertion.

* Treat windowBits and memLevel options consistently with other ones and
  don't crash when non-numeric values are given.

* Fix bugs in the validation logic:
  - Don't conflate 0 and undefined when checking if a field of an
    options object exists.
  - Treat NaN and Infinity values the same way as values of invalid
    types instead of allowing to actually set zlib options to NaN or
    Infinity.
