Infinite loop when opening an invalid zip file

Hi ab,

I encountered an infinite loop while reading a zip file TZipRead from mormot.core.zip, at line 2797. This is not a mormot issue because in my case that zip file is not an actual zip file. Someone thought changing a html file's extension to zip is a good idea . There is a function called IsZipStart to ensure it's a real zip but in this case it returns true. Delphi's TZipFile.IsValid return's false so i am using it before TZipCreate.

Anyway, an infinite loop is maybe something you want to avoid. Just want to inform you. I am using 2.4 stable release.

Best regards.
