feature request: zip up split files

[aerickson]

Raccoon, another google play store downloader tool, zips up the split file downloads into APK's. It's handy to have them zipped up and ready to install.

Ideally, the files would be named PACKAGE.split_name.apk (and with -av, PACKAGE.VERSION.split_name.apk).

Here's what Raccoon produces for com.android.chrome:

Different file naming method, but I've added the pull request #261 to do this. The issue isn't that the split files aren't zipped, but rather they're simply lacking the extension '.apk' when being saved. Once extended with '.apk', adb install-multiple will more readily accept it.

Is something specific required in order to obtain the split parts? I downloaded and installed com.spotify.music OK, but it crashes as soon as it's opened, logcat:

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke interface method 'boolean com.google.android.play.core.missingsplits.a.a()' on a null object reference

which apparently means it's a 'split APK': https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/play/core/missingsplits/MissingSplitsManager

(the only file downloaded was com.spotify.music.apk, same with the --additional-files flag (I didn't know what that did, but I guessed it might be for this.))
