Iterate Over ZIP Entries Using EntryAt

This example demonstrates how to use the EntryAt method to iterate over all entries contained within a ZIP archive.

The EntryAt method retrieves a ZipEntry object for a given zero-based index.

This is useful for:

Enumerating all entries in a ZIP archive
Inspecting filenames, sizes, and timestamps
Searching or filtering ZIP contents

Suppose the ZIP archive contains:

docs/readme.txt images/logo.png data/config.json

The example loops through all ZIP entries and prints information about each entry.
