remove zarc dependency in favor of powershell
We can remove the zarc dependency (I no longer need to maintain it) by leveraging powershell, however, this appears to be ungodly slow. 7 times slower on the CI (test took 14 minutes instead of 2). It looks like this is a longtime known issue: https://github.com/PowerShell/Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive/issues/32
Another option would be to use System.IO.Compression.ZipFile from the .NET runtime with a fallback to powershell, this is what goto-bus-stop/setup-zig does, i.e.
> "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" -NoLogo -NoProfile -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop' ; try { Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.ZipFile } catch { } ; try { [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory('D:\a\_temp\0cb5b10f-ac04-4c24-b695-a765775d31fa', 'D:\a\_temp\245aed94-f57d-47db-8abe-29f7e193e5d6', $true) } catch { if (($_.Exception.GetType().FullName -eq 'System.Management.Automation.MethodException') -or ($_.Exception.GetType().FullName -eq 'System.Management.Automation.RuntimeException') ){ Expand-Archive -LiteralPath 'D:\a\_temp\0cb5b10f-ac04-4c24-b695-a765775d31fa' -DestinationPath 'D:\a\_temp\245aed94-f57d-47db-8abe-29f7e193e5d6' -Force } else { throw $_ } } ;"
