[issue8199] zipfile.py: consistency between "write" and "writestr"

[Hervé Cauwelier]

New submission from Hervé Cauwelier <herve at itaapy.com>:

Hi,

In class "ZipFile", method "write" accepts "compress_type" parameter but not the "writestr" method.

I see no reason for this limitation and the change is trivial.

This is needed for generating ODF documents since the mimetype file must not be compressed, contrary to other parts.

For now, I've copied the block of code that create a "ZipInfo" object in that "writestr" method.

The attached patch shows the desired change.

Thanks
