[issue14061] Misc fixes and cleanups in archiving code in shutil and test_shutil

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

test_shutil contains partial tests for the archiving functionality.  I plan to rewrite some tests so that for example you can see a skip message when bz2 is not available, instead of silent non-testing.  Also, the internal functions _make_tarfile and _make_zipfile are directly tested, but IMO it’d be better to only exercise make_archive.
