[issue11501] distutils.archive_util should handle absence of zlib module

Hi Éric,

Thanks for looking at the patch. I'm not using "if zlib is not None" since the archive_utils module never explicitly imports zlib. Only the zipfile module imports zlib and raises RuntimeError if not available (as per http://docs.python.org/library/zipfile.html#zipfile-objects).

I'm changing the patch function to raise an exception as requested.
