#174 7z command line doesn't recognize rar5 archives

[Telnet User]

Since 7zip (15.14) is now capable of handling rar5 archives, it would be better to
port this capability to p7zip, so that the 7z command line on Linux/BSD/Unix
is able to extract rar5 archives.

Currently, the latest version of p7zip (9.38.1 from 15.09 source) doesn't
recognize rar5 as archive.

Here is a solid rar5 archive with blake2 checksum to test p7zip rar5
implementation.

[Igor Pavlov]

p7zip 15.09 must support rar5 archives.
Check it again.

Thanks. I've compiled 15.09 version and it detects rar5 archives as expected.
