Issue #14099: ZipFile.open() no longer reopen the underlying file. Objects

returned by ZipFile.open() can now operate independently of the ZipFile even
if the ZipFile was created by passing in a file-like object as the first
argument to the constructor.

-      If the ZipFile was created by passing in a file-like object as the  first
-      argument to the constructor, then the object returned by :meth:`.open` shares the
-      ZipFile's file pointer.  Under these  circumstances, the object returned by
-      :meth:`.open` should not  be used after any additional operations are performed
-      on the  ZipFile object.  If the ZipFile was created by passing in a string (the
-      filename) as the first argument to the constructor, then  :meth:`.open` will
-      create a new file object that will be held by the ZipExtFile, allowing it to
-      operate independently of the  ZipFile.
+      Objects returned by :meth:`.open` can operate independently of the
