Description

https://github.com/philsmd/7z2hashcat/issues/39

Problem introduced to JtR in a1d21c88 and c3ad82b6c. Files using delta are rare so probably not too much harm done. Besides, I think a problem would only surface if the file had no compression, only delta encoding - that'd be super rare or even purely academical.

Need to update 7z2john, then the formats, and hopefully also address #4956 while at it.
