Commit summary:

* (bug 24230) Added JAR detection. ZIP archives containing a .class file will 
be rejected by default. Malformed ZIP archives will be rejected due to the 
danger of ambiguous parsing on the client side.
* Removed the ZIP subtypes from $wgMimeTypeBlacklist, they no longer need to be 
there.
* Added ZipDirectoryReader. Added some small ZIP files which are used to test 
its various error cases. Most were constructed with a hex editor.
* Fixed getStatusArray() to return a consistent type regardless of whether the 
error message has parameters. This allows error messages with no parameters to 
work with the Status object conversion code in UploadBase::verifyFile().

Comment:

Maybe at an early stage of development, it was imagined as a standalone 
library. But it turns out that the PEAR ZIP library was not as bad as I thought 
it was, so it should be sufficient for most people who need a standalone 
library. So the main motivation for completing ZipDirectoryReader became the 
fact that it could be tuned for MediaWiki and integrated with it.
