ocioarchive symbolic link handling broken (upstream bug/feature) #2294

Description

@KevinJW

We were trying to use OCIO archive on a tree that happened to contain symbolic links to another location. The archive runs with no errors indicated but neither unzip not ocioarchive can extract the files. It appears to be related to zlib-ng/minizip-ng#797

In our case the symbolic link was to a LUT file, which when trying to extract resulted in an attempt to create a symbolic link pointing to the contents of the file... example contents from zipinfo

Central directory entry #24:
---------------------------

  There are an extra 16 bytes preceding this file.

  colour/look/aces_1.2/luts/Log2_48_nits_Shaper_to_linear.spi1d

  offset of local header from start of archive:   16072021
                                                  (0000000000F53D55h) bytes
  file system or operating system of origin:      Unix
  version of encoding software:                   4.5
  minimum file system compatibility required:     MS-DOS, OS/2 or NT FAT
  minimum software version required to extract:   2.0
  compression method:                             deflated
  compression sub-type (deflation):               maximum
  file security status:                           not encrypted
  extended local header:                          yes
  file last modified on (DOS date/time):          2023 Aug 1 08:30:30
  32-bit CRC value (hex):                         83a5291c
  compressed size:                                27242 bytes
  uncompressed size:                              73776 bytes
  length of filename:                             61 characters
  length of extra field:                          0 bytes
  length of file comment:                         0 characters
  disk number on which file begins:               disk 1
  apparent file type:                             binary
  Unix file attributes (120777 octal):            lrwxrwxrwx
  MS-DOS file attributes (00 hex):                none

So we see the file contents are stored compressed but the file attributes are a for a symbolic link.
