When I type something like this:
git archive -o my-v2.0.zip v2.0
it is almost certainly that I want to create a zip archive, and not
a tar file.
This patch teaches git-archive to auto detect the output format from the
file name. Currently, only '.zip' is supported. If the auto detect failed,
the tar format is used as default. The auto detect is not used when the
output format is specified explicitly.

Here is my first attempt to implement that. I have not added 'tgz' yet,
but only auto detect the format from the output file name.
PS I resend this patch because I forgot to include the git mailing list when
I sent it before. Sorry for inconvinience...
