Changes:
* linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
* new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
-spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory. The asterisk (*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
-spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name to form the final path to the output directory.
-spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name.
This is the default option.
* improved code for ZIP, CPIO, RAR, UFD, QCOW, Compound.
* 7-Zip File Manager: improved sorting order of the file list.
It uses file name as secondary sorting key.:
* 7-Zip File Manager: improved Benchmark to support systems with more than 64 CPU threads.
* bug fixed: 7-Zip could not correctly extract TAR archives containing sparse files
