If `readOnly` gets used by some code when a `ZipFileSystem` instance is being constructed (which is why I believe this can't be a `final` field), then I think we should not change this value to `true`. In other words, would this change now have a chance of introducing a `ReadOnlyFileSystemException` when constructing the `ZipFileSystem` whereas before it wouldn't?
