#14399: zipfile now correctly handles comments added to empty zipfiles.
Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
This also moves the TypeError that results from trying to use a unicode
comment from the 'close' step to the point at which the comment is added to
the zipfile.

+- Issue #14399: zipfile now correctly adds a comment even when the zipfile
+ being created is otherwise empty. In addition, the TypeError that results
+ from trying to set a non-binary value as a comment is now now raised at the
+ time the comment is set rather than at the time the zipfile is written.

- Issue #7978: socketserver now restarts the select() call when EINTR is
returned. This avoids crashing the server loop when a signal is received.
