[issue37538] Refactor zipfile to ease subclassing and enhancement

[Daniel Hillier]

New submission from Daniel Hillier <daniel.hillier at gmail.com>:

I've written https://github.com/danifus/pyzipper which incorporates a
refactor of zipfile.py in order to support winzip AES encryption. I don't
intend to include the crypto code but I would like to incorporate the
refactor to help others subclass and extend the objects found in zipfile.py


For a longer description of the general approach I've taken to the refactor,
see the python-ideas thread:
