[issue27318] Add support for symlinks to zipfile

[Lukáš Doktor]

New submission from Lukáš Doktor:

Currently the zipfile library extracts all files as simple files, even though it contains the information of the file attributes. This patch uses them to detect if the original file was a symlink and creates it when there is a support for symlink creation.
