Matt Hamilton 7f22881dd1 Remove nonsensical 'security' check
For some reason, zshcompsys thinks that it is up to it do be a sysadmin.

By default, `compinit` checks for 'insecure' directories and files.

From `man 1 zshcompsys`:
For security reasons compinit also checks if the completion system would
use files not owned by root or by the current user, or files in directories
that are world- or group-writable or that are not owned by root or by
The current user.

People suffering from the rammifications of this can be found here:

To sumarize, if you have files with permissions that are 'bad'
(ex: 777 on /usr/share/folder/), then zshcompsys enables you to ignore
those directories and files.

That begs the question, why is it zshcompsys' job to police the system?
If you have 777 permissions on a folder in /usr/share/something, that
makes the sysadmin DUMB. On the flip side, there are many situations
in which it is perfectly legitimate to allow a group to have write
permissions to a directory that contains binary files.

It shouldn't be up to zshcompsys to point out that you're an idiot.

Running compaudit (the 'security' checks) also takes up a significant
chunk of time, which can be exacerbated on low-end systems.

This commit disables the compaudit, while still enabling the .zcompdump
as provided by compinit, as it acts as a cache.
