Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some datasets (such as YAGO-3: https://yago-knowledge.org/downloads/yago-3) provide their data in 7-Zip archives. Currently TFDS cannot handle this.

Describe the solution you'd like
7-zip should be supported. It's free and open-source (GNU LGPL) so I don't believe there should be any issues including it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I'm currently unsure if there are any alternatives as the data is not available in another format and I don't have the resources to rehost it.

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating TFDS's existing archive-extraction entry points and tests, then determine how 7-Zip archives should be handled; done means a dataset packaged as 7-Zip can be downloaded and extracted by TFDS with coverage for the behavior.
