[ENH] - Add extension to download multiple files at once

[kcpevey]

Feature description

I find myself needed to move files on and off the platform quite a bit. I'm also lazy and unable to remember the syntax for the tar/gzip commands.

As it currently stands, if I wanted to download a local copy of a folder (or git repo) to test out on my local machine, I have to either use the Terminal, look up the commands to create the zip archive, and then download the zip OR I could download all the files individually and then recreate the folder structure once its downloaded. I don't like those options.

What I'd like to do is highlight either a folder or a group of files, click download and it zips them up and downloads them.

A 10 second web search brought up this package. Something like this seems like it would be beneficial.

Value and/or benefit

Providing users with common UI workflows from within the Nebari interface.

Anything else?

I don't see any issue with adding the jupyter-archive lab extension to the base JupyterLab image. Does anyone have any objections?
