zip filesystem provider

[Xueming Shen]

Here is the webrev for nio filesystem provider for zip {1]

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/zipfs/webrev

We are targeting for b114 for the first drop, if we can address
some integration logistic issues. If not, it should be in b116.

Since most of the code are so "young" (2-3 weeks), it would be
appreciated if you guys can help review the code and/or try
it out, any feedback is welcome. And don't be surprised if you
find the webrev is being updated constantly:-)

Demo.java  <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Esherman/zipfs/webrev/test/demo/zipfs/Demo.java.html>  shows how to use the NIO2 filesystem APIs to access
a zip file via the zip filesystem provider, with couple lines
of code you can copy, rename, move, list, walk a zip file just like
access a normal file system. The most fun part of the past couple
weeks is to convert my test case into this Demo:-) Myself is
a little surprised how easy it is to use Alan's nio fs to access
a zip file.

I put a copy ofzipfs.jar  <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Esherman/zipfs/>  on the cr website for your convenience,
in case you want to try it out first. Just copy the zipfs.jar into
the ext directory or add it into your classpath.
