Switch -ME[par] - set encryption parameters


Now only "ZL" (ZIP legacy) parameter is supported. So you can use -mezl switch together with -p[pwd] to create an encrypted ZIP archive using ZIP legacy encryption algorithm. Without -mezl ZIP archives are encrypted with AES-256, which is more secure, but can be incompatible with some older versions of unzip tools.
