Introduce new getEntryByPathWithNamespace

    * An `Archive` is read-only, and internal states (as caches) are protected
    * from race-condition. Therefore, all methods of `Archive` are threadsafe.
    *
+   * Zim archives exist with two different namespace schemes: An old one and the new one.
+   * The method `hasNewNamespaceScheme` permit to know which namespace is used by the archive.
+   *
+   * When using old namespace scheme:
+   * - User entries may be stored in different namespaces (historically `A`, `I`, `J` or `-`).
+   *   So path of the entries contains the namespace as a "top level directory": `A/foo.html`, `I/image.png`, ...
+   * - All API taking or returning a path expect/will return a path with the namespace.
+   *
+   * When using new namespace scheme:
+   * - User entries are always stored without namespace.
+   *   (For information, they are stored in the same namespace `C`. Still consider there is no namespace as all API masks it)
+   *   As there is no namespace, paths don't contain it: `foo.hmtl`, `image.png`, ...
+   * - All API taking or returning a path expect/will return a path without namespace.
+   *
+   * This difference may seem complex to handle, but not so much.
+   * As all paths returned by API is consistent with paths expected, you simply have to use the path as it is.
+   * Forget about the namespace and if a path has it, simply consider it as a subdirectory.
+   * The only place it could be problematic is when you already have a path stored somewhere (bookmark, ...)
+   * using a scheme and use it on an archive with another scheme. For this case, the method `getEntryByPath`
+   * has a compatibility layer trying to transform a path to the new scheme as a fallback if the entry is not found.
+   *
    * All methods of archive may throw an `ZimFileFormatError` if the file is invalid.
