[New-bugs-announce] [issue19894] zipfile ignores deflate level settings in zipinfo object

New submission from Richard Milne:

Reading the pkzip APPNOTE and the documentation for the zipfile module, I was under the impression that I could set the DEFLATE compression level, on a per-file basis, for each file added to an archive, by setting the appropriate bits in zipinfo.flag_bits.

You can't. Hence the attached patch, which updates the docs, tests and module source to enables this ability and makes the user aware of it.
