Sometimes there is a need symlinks to be exactly like they were creating during creation of ZIP file and we don't want symlinks to be absolute always.
I've created option 'absolute' which leaves default behavior by default, but if there is a need someone could pass 'false' and get relative links.
One example where this is needed - decompression of Electron based application update on MacOS. Once we extract .app file we wan't to be able to move it around(Desktop, Applications folder, etc..) and if we have absolute symlinks it won't work. But if we have relative symlinks everything works like a charm.
