Clarifications about .rar support

The added .rar support includes unpacking (decompressing and listing) but not packing (compressing a new archive), that's due to RAR's license restrictions, as it only allows their proprietary software (WinRAR) to pack new archives.

With that in mind, we advice you not to use .rar if possible, instead, use .zip, .tar.gz, .tar.zst, .tar.xz or .tar with other supported format.

Regressed feature during development

This version was supposed to feature a progress bar with estimated time left and throughput data (MBs/s), unfortunately, it couldn't be shipped in this version because it introduced a couple of bugs.

We agreed to regress the progress bar until we could fix all these issues.
