The CI on #1298 is failing due to https://github.com/shotover/shotover-proxy/actions/runs/6180379036/job/16776751233?pr=1298#step:4:11

A dependency uses the zlib license which we have not allowed in our deny.toml.

Zlib is described as a permissive free software license and has been approved by the Free Software Foundation as a free software license and by the Open Source Initiative as an open source license. It is compatible with the GNU General Public License. refs

I also removed pktparse from our exceptions as we no longer use it as a dependency.

I cant find anything that clearly says the zlib license is compatible with apache license.
It could be fine, but I dont really know enough to say.

Category A: Licenses in Category A may be included in Apache Software Foundation products. They are said to be "Apache-like".
