  Engrampa refuses to add files to a zip archive if compression-level is

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  An old bug in Engrampa prevents users from creating zip archives when
  the compression level is set to maximum in the settings.

  The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the
  report.

  The fix is already in Artful, and would be nice to backport it to
  Zesty and Xenial as well. That bug caused problems for years,
  especially if you don't remember that you once set the compression
  level to maximum. The error message doesn't really help.

  [Test Case]

  First, set the compression level to maximum, using either dconf-editor
  or gsettings tool:

  $ gsettings set org.mate.engrampa.general compression-level 'maximum'

  Then try to compress any file(s) into zip archive. The operation will
  fail with error message dialog, and the archive won't be created.

  [Regression Potential]

  None. The fix doesn't affect any other features of Engrampa (other
  archive types, other compression levels, extracting, and so on).

  [Original Description]

  Engrampa 1.12.0-2 (64-bit) on Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS

  If compression-level is set to "maximum" through dconf, engrampa
  cannot create zip archives while it still can handle every other
  archive type.
