[issue37921] Improve zipfile: add support for symlinks

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

Adding support of symlinks in ZIP files will make the zipfile module vulnerable to symlink attacks like like with TAR files (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(computing)#Duplicates). Until we find a solution to this, adding support of symlinks is dangerous.
