Support for .lz (lzip) files about archive

[jimhester]

lzip is a compression format, not an archive format, e.g. it compresses only a single file, it does not store multiple files like a zip or tar archive would.

So you need to use archive::file_read() rather than archive().

e.g.

data <- jsonlite::parse_json(archive::file_read("ep_votes.json.lz"), simplifyVector=FALSE)

It works !

@jimhester , if format="lzma", do you think that archive_read could internally call file_read (perhaps with a message/warning)? (I'm just learning the archive package, tbh, so I might be missing something obvious.)
