Directory entry should be added not only when directory is empty.

See also issue20912.

I think zipfile should add an entry for directories as zip tool does. Here is a patch. In additional it fixes zipfile -c for some corner cases (when arguments end with /, . or .. component).

If there are no objections I'll commit the patch soon.
