[New-bugs-announce] [issue24693] zipfile: change RuntimeError to more appropriate exception type

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

RuntimeError is raised in the zipfile module in many cases where more appropriate exception type is expected. Proposed patch changes a number of RuntimeErrors to one of BadZipFile, NotImplementedError, or ValueError. Only changing to NotImplementedError is backward compatible (NotImplementedError is subclass of RuntimeError), other changes are not.
