Description
The archive format is changing from v8 to v9 in Unity 6.7 starting at the b2 release. 7.0 will also have this format.
Older versions of Unity cannot read the new format so we need new version of UnityFileSystemApi including that format.
The built-in archive parsing needs to be updated to understand and properly report the v9 changes, e.g. for the archive command to work properly.
Proposed fix is #128

Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed fix in #128 and the UnityFileSystemApi used by the built-in archive parsing. Trace the archive command to identify where format v8 is handled and how version changes are reported. Done means Unity 6.7 and 7.0 archive format v9 files are parsed and reported correctly, while older formats continue to work.
