Another way to support this is with subcommands.  Have the default [implicit] command be to create the zip app, and then
add any subcommands we need:

  python -m zipapp [create] foo   #creates a foo.pyz from the foo directory

  python -m zipapp info foo.pyz   # prints out shebang for foo.pyz

  python -m zipapp info --all foo.pyz  # prints out shebang and directory structure and files and ....

This easily leaves the door open to add new commands in the future if any are still needed, and makes the current
commands easy and simple to use.
