I wonder if the ZIP filesystem implementation should throw an exception in this case. In the case where the application code has explicitly stated `accessMode=readWrite`, if the underlying file `Path` isn't writable, then we currently throw an `IOException`. I think we should specify and implement the same for the case where `accessMode=readWrite` and the file is a multi-release JAR file.
