Bug#361018: RM: zope-zshell -- RoQA; orphaned, not packaged for current Zope

[JPenny@ykksnap-america.com]

When I was asked about my MIA status and orphaning my packages,
I said that it made sense to remove zope-zshell from the archive.

Upstream, a very good developer and a nice guy, is very busy, and 
has not updated it in a long time.  It uses some gory corners of python
to do some of its work.  It is probably supported under more recent Zopes
just fine.  However, every change of python brings a significant risk of
breakage.
