Bug Description

Please sync p7zip-rar 15.09-2 (multiverse) from Debian testing (non-free)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rationale:
===========

* The version currently in xenial, 9.20.1, is 5 years old (released in 2011). It is very beneficial for the users to have this newer version in the LTS. It has many improvements and fixes.

* The package comes from Debian testing, which means that:
 - It compiles and up to date on all architectures it has previously been compiled for in unstable;
 - It does not have release-critical bugs;
 - All of its dependencies are satisfiable by packages already in testing, which is what the LTS is derived from;
 - Installing the package does not break any packages currently in testing

* Another sync request for p7zip 15.09 (which p7zip-rar depends on) is filed here Bug #1563508

* Some specific RAR improvements are mentioned in the upstream changelog below
