bug#26192: 25.1; Zip-Archive mode has no command for extracting a file to disk

[Francesco Potortì]

When opening a zip file, there is no command to estract a member to
file, which for me is a common operation.

I wish there was such a command.

Yeah, that's something I've often missed, too.  I've now added it and
bound it to the `C' keystroke in Emacs 28.1.

No, just single files.  Actually, I hadn't even considered that case...
