Línea de trabajo

Comienza en src/ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib/Zip/ZipFile.cs alrededor de la línea 2861 y sigue CopyEntryDirect durante BeginUpdate, delete y CommitUpdate en modo directo. Reproduce el problema con un archivo pequeño seguido de un archivo más grande y, después, elimina el primer archivo. El trabajo estará terminado cuando hacer commit de esta actualización ya no corrompa el archivo cuando los streams de origen y destino se solapen.

Describe the bug

https://github.com/icsharpcode/SharpZipLib/blame/master/src/ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib/Zip/ZipFile.cs#L2861

This looks to me like a somewhat big oversight - it silently corrupts files and no warning nor error happens until it is too late.
After a few hours of debugging I feel like CopyEntryDirect is simply not functional if, for instance, one of the first few files of the ZipFile got deleted in a prior operation.

Let's put it this way - in direct mode, source stream and destination stream are the same.
That means writing on the destination is the same as writing on the source. You want to make extra sure you don't write over what you're going to read next. But if any file is deleted, this premise is broken - as deletions are treated, and copies are treated first, upon trying to copy the file SharpZipLib will happily overwrite the very file it's reading with itself.

Let's take an example, for instance the one I just spent a while looking into. A zip file with a 44 byte file, and then a 80kB file.
I decide to delete the first one. It has an offset of zero, and the next file has an offset of 44, because it's right after.

BeginUpdate => Delete => CommitUpdate

Upon commitment, updates are sorted, and the copy will now happen before the delete.
So this is what the library does - it takes the first update it has to handle, it's a copy! From <offset 44> to <wherever we are>. Since we have not done anything yet, <wherever we are> is offset 0. So, CopyEntryDirect copies byte 44<=>80044 to 0<=>80000.
There is no alignment, so just writing the "header" of that file we're copying, which totals 75 bytes, already overwrites the file itself. This causes massive, unrecoverable wreckage onto any zip file it touches!

This could maybe fixed with some minimum alignment the size of a "maximum zip header", or maybe by accepting some level of fragmentation in files and not moving stuff onto itself, or maybe temporarily copying the stuff to memory before committing it to file (not like the Safe mode, which renews the stream completely, something I cannot do in my project)

Sorry for the very long issue but I felt like this was important.
