Built-in archive preview

[CatsDeservePets]

Golang provides some packages to work with compressed archives.

Out of the box, lf supports sixel and plain text.
Could it make sense to also allow some archive formats using the Go standard library in order to make lf more accessible for new users?
I am fully aware that this is easily possible using a previewer script.

There is an open issue about this: #170. Note that there is a difference with previewing an archive (showing a list of contained files), and actually browsing it as a directory - the latter possibly requires builtin support and may not be entirely straightforward, but I have not tried it out at all.

The latter sounds rather difficult. I'd imagine lots of if statements and checks whether a command or action can be executed inside an archive.

I definitely see the appeal of browsable archives. It is something I might end up using myself. However, it might not be worth the effort for the rather limited amount of supported archive types.

I'd imagine a simple preview (i.e. listing the contents) might not be that hard to archive achieve.
