Directory names that start with a dot are not being included in the zip file

Bug

Description

After upgrading from 5.3.5 to 5.4.0 I started getting the error below, I noticed that archived was replaced by bestzip and this is exactly what is failing, not sure what is causing this issue but I use hidden folders (starting with dot) for auto generated code that is packaged by serverless and bestzip may not be able to find the folder.

What stacktrace or error message from your provider did you see?

zip error: Nothing to do! (../onAppInstanceSyncStorage.zip)

@christiantakle thanks for the repo, it helped me a lot. In fact, when we zip files, we use * to match all files. But, according to the doc, it does not include dotfiles by default.

I managed to fix it by providing a list of files to the zip command and then found the fix was already provided in an other PR: https://github.com/serverless-heaven/serverless-webpack/pull/777
