Please review this PR which suggests to deprecate the unused class 
`java.util.zip.ZipError` for removal.

The class has been unsed by OpenJDK since  the ZIP API was rewritten from 
native to Java in JDK 9.

I opted to not explain the reason for the deprecation in detail, but instead 
simply point to `ZipException` as an alternative. Should more explanation be 
desired, I could prepend that with a note saying that the class is unused since 
JDK 9.

A CSR for this API update has been drafted, I'll update the Specification 
section there once we reach a concensus on the deprecation note in this PR.

This deprecation was initially suggested here:
