[issue11501] distutils.archive_util should handle absence of zlib module

[Natalia B. Bidart]

Natalia B. Bidart <nataliabidart at gmail.com> added the comment:

Attaching patch that performs the following:

* skip all the distutils tests that need zlib in order to run properly.
* add a new test (test_make_zipfile_no_zlib) to ensure that make_zipfile uses the compression option from zipfile module that works without zlib.
* add a helper method to patch objects.

The fix itself was discussed with Tarek, and the patch helper implementation was discussed with Michael Foord.
