archive-zip: support more than 65535 entries
Support more than 65535 entries cleanly by writing a "zip64 end of central directory record" (with a 64-bit field for the number of entries) before the usual "end of central directory record" (which contains only a 16-bit field). InfoZIP's zip does the same. Archives with 65535 or less entries are not affected. Programs that extract all files like InfoZIP's zip and 7-Zip ignored the field and could extract all files already. Software that relies on the ZIP file directory to show a list of contained files quickly to simulate to normal directory like Windows' built-in ZIP functionality only saw a subset of the included files. Windows supports ZIP64 since Vista according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip_%28file_format%29#ZIP64.
