1.6.0

Enhancements:

• add a "prefix" keyword argument to the api.extract function. When combined with dest_dir, the prefix is the base directory, and the dest_dir is the folder name. dest_dir alone as an abspath is both the base directory and the folder name.

Bug fixes:

• provide a non-ProcessPoolExecutor path when number of processes is 1
• open files to be added to archives in binary mode. On Windows, the implicit default was text mode, which was corrupting newline data and putting in null characters.
• extraction prefix defaults to the folder containing the specified archive. This is a behavior change from 1.3.x, which extracted into the CWD by default.
