atool doesn't automatically use the 7zip binary installed by apt-get install p7zip

[David Shepherd]

By default atool seems to look for a 7zip binary called 7z, but doing `apt-get install p7zip` gets you a binary called 7zr.

What I did: `atool -x [7zip archive]`.
What I expected to happen: archive extracted to a dir in the current directory.
What happened: failure with the message
    Can't exec "7z": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/atool line 1869.
    7z: cannot execute - No such file or directory
    atool: 7z ...: non-zero return-code

Adding the line:

    path_7z 7zr

to /etc/atool.conf makes it work, at least for this use case.

It should work if you install the "p7zip-full" package instead of "p7zip".

I have updated the dependency and uploaded a new version to Debian.

I believe that this is fixed in Ubuntu 18.04.
