• gh-68164: Set the "regular file" bit in zipfile's writestr #134232

[dalphus]

When ZipFile.writestr is called with arcname as its first parameter, it creates a ZipInfo object that has 0o0600 << 16 as its external_attr. Files created with write generally have 0o0100600 (S_IFREG is set indicating a regular file). Some archive managers (like Ark) will not populate the extracted file unless it contains this flag.
