(C# UWP/WinRT) Encrypt Already Existing Zip

To encrypt an already existing non-encrypted .zip, the application must open the .zip, set the encryption related properties, and then re-write.

// This requires the Chilkat Zip API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Chilkat Zip for sample code.

Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

// Open an unencrypted .zip
bool success = await zip.OpenZipAsync("qa_data/zips/test.zip");
if (success != true) {
