Add zip and unzip packages to list of recommended software

BClark09 commented 5 years ago

Prompted by https://community.openhab.org/t/raspberry-pi-3-b-and-debian-vm-setup-guides/65875

zip and unzip are not necessarily installed by default on Linux distributions. It should be installed by default with openHAB through the packaging system because backup and restore depend on them.

openHAB runs perfectly okay without them, and using backup and restore commands will prompt for an installation of zip/unzip if not found, so the packages should be recommended and not added as a strict dependency.

@openhab/openhabian-maintainers I believe openHABian installs zip and unzip packages through other recommendations and dependencies. So should not affect the install.
