Subject: bug: git-archive does not use the zip64 extension for archives with more than 16k entries

Hi,

for repositories with more than 16k files and folders, git-archive will create
zip files which store the wrong number of entries. That is, it stores the
number of entries modulo 16k. This will break unpackers that do not include
code to support this brokenness.

Instead, git-archive should use the zip64 extension to handle more than 16k
files and folders correctly.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
