zip64 compatibility problems

[Xueming Shen]

zip3.0 has a flag to do the similar thing may be a compelling reason to
add such a system property, but make disabled default turns yourself
into the dark side:-)  have to explicitly turn the flag on will force the
people to think if this is something they really want to do.

Given it has been in the major releases for years, I don't think it's
possible to disable it in openjdk.
