GH-92184: Convert os.altsep to '/' in filenames when creating ZipInfo objects (#92185)
This causes the zipfile module to also consider the character defined by `os.altsep` (if there is one) to be a path separator and convert it to a forward slash, as defined by the zip specification. A logical no-op on all known platforms today as os.altsep is currently only set to a meaningful value on Windows (where it is "/").

+When creating zip files using :mod:`zipfile`, ``os.altsep``, if not ``None``,
+will always be treated as a path separator even when it is not ``/``.
