Research direction

The issue names LibZipSharp and a System.IO.Compress-compatible API but no files, entry points, or tests. Start by mapping the existing managed wrapper and the compatibility surface that must be supported; done requires an agreed API scope and corresponding validation tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We should add a System.IO.Compresson compatible api which uses LibZipSharp under the hood. This would allow developers to switch over to using LibZipSharp easily.
