[issue17201] Use allowZip64=True by default

William Mallard added the comment:

Enabling ZIP64 seems like a reasonable default.

The documentation justifies the current 32-bit default with outdated information:
"""
ZIP64 extensions are disabled by default because the default 'zip' and 'unzip' commands on Unix (the InfoZIP utilities) don't support these extensions.
"""

But InfoZIP has supported the ZIP64 extension for 4 years (since UnZip 6.0, and Zip 3.0).
