Committed in r955650.

When using zip and zip64 interchangeably, they both use ".zip"
extension, so the 'old backups' are removed interchangeably too. But
I don't think it's an issue: either the new file is below 2GB (in which
case it's a normal zip file, Python documents) or it's above, in which
case the other option is to raise() and not create a new backup at all.

Thanks Donald.
