[issue25711] Rewrite zipimport from scratch

Technically, will it be possible to freeze it? It seems useful to keep the ability to put the whole stdlib into a single ZIP. Using a ZIP is sometimes suggested to avoid fstat() on disk for example, to speedup Python startup.

But I also understand that the C code is painful to maintain and update.

Anyway, nice job Serhiy :-)
