I've been poking around the zip internals and am now able to locate the
16 bits of interest. The position of these actual bits does appear to
move around from one test run to another. For now, I guess it's
sufficient to look for the pattern of interest in the signed zip file.
New testcase added.

Looks like it was a conscious design decision to only allow recording of POSIX
permission bits for this field (& 0xFFF). I don't see anything about symlink
support in zipfs docs.
As long as that*byte* is there and it’s not difficult to locate, we can
manually add the*bit* for symlink and see if jarsigner can keep it.
