Description

allocate a new ZZIP_DIR handle and do basic initializations before usage by zzip_dir_fdopen zzip_dir_open zzip_file_open or through zzip_open (ext==null flags uses { ".zip" , ".ZIP" } ) (io ==null flags use of posix io defaults)

the zzip_dir_alloc function is obsolete - it was generally used for implementation and exported to let other code build on it. It is now advised to use zzip_dir_alloc_ext_io now on explicitly, just set that second argument to zero to achieve the same functionality as the old style.
