René Scharfe 227bf59806 archive-zip: write extended timestamp ...

File modification times in ZIP files are encoded in DOS format: local
time with a granularity of two seconds.  Add an extra field to all
archive entries to also record the mtime in Unix' fashion, as UTC with
a granularity of one second.

This has the desirable side-effect of convincing Info-ZIP unzip 6.00
to respect general purpose flag 11, which is used to indicate that a
file name is encoded in UTF-8.  Any extra field would do, actually,
but the extended timestamp is a reasonably small one (22 bytes per
entry).  Archives created by Info-ZIP zip 3.0 contain it, too (but
with ctime and atime as well).
