NPE when creating default file system when default file system provider is packaged as JAR file on class path

If the system property java.nio.file.spi.DefaultFileSystemProvider is set to the name of a class in a JAR file on the class path then it leads to an NPE in the ZipFile code. This is a bootstrapping/initialization issue (and a regression since JDK 9) due to the ZipFile code needing to use the default file system provider. We may have to change ZipFile to use the built-in file system provider, at least for the class path case.


$ java -cp classes:provider.jar -Djava.nio.file.spi.DefaultFileSystemProvider=TestProvider org.test.Test
