[PATCH v5 1/1] archive-zip: refactor 'path too long' error message to use Q_()

Replace _() with Q_() in the 'path too long' error message. Although pathlen is always greater than 0xffff when this error is hit, Q_() is required to support correct translation for languages that require different plural forms depending on the count.
