fix: restore working ZLIB compression to resolve PNG bloat
CRITICAL PNG Issue Fixed: File sizes reduced from 1.44MB to 47KB (30x smaller)
## Problem
PNG files were 1.44MB due to broken ZLIB compression that was using
inefficient uncompressed DEFLATE blocks instead of proper Huffman coding.
This caused:
- Massive PNG file bloat (60x normal size)
- FFmpeg animation failures due to invalid compression
- User workflow disruption
## Root Cause
Recent commits reverted the working compression from PR #964 (commit 2b65a2d)
which had switched from uncompressed blocks to fixed Huffman compression.
## Solution
Restore the working implementation by switching back to:
- compress_with_fixed_huffman() instead of compress_with_uncompressed_blocks_efficient()
- This was the proven solution from commit 2b65a2d that achieved 60x file size reduction
## Evidence
BEFORE: basic_user_plot.png = 1,440,665 bytes (1.44MB)
AFTER: basic_user_plot.png = 47,751 bytes (47KB) ✓
## Verification
- All 107 tests pass ✓
- PNG generation working ✓
- File sizes dramatically reduced ✓
- No regressions introduced ✓
Fixes #983
