Description

### Problem

`gvfs` has an `archive` backend but Files is unable to recognize the `archive://` protocol as being valid.

### Proposal

Files should open and navigate `archive://` URLs as virtual folders, at least read-only but preferably read-write if supported by `gvfs`.

### Prior Art (Optional)

Other file-managers generally use an external utility to do this.
