RFR JDK-8023713: ZipFileSystem has compatiable issue to handle old zip file.

[Martin Buchholz]

It does seem vaguely reasonable to support any extra data.

Don't you want to also handle arbitrary byte arrays, if e.g. one the 16-bit
size fields overflows the extra data?
It looks to me like getExtraLen could return a negative number.

And put a SPACE after "if".
