3fc3bf70f9 stream: add uncompressed rar support
Apparently, it is popular to store large files in uncompressed rar
archives. Extracting files is not practical, and some media players
suport playing directly from uncompressed rar (at least VLC and some
DirectShow components).

Storing or accessing files this way is completely idiotic, but it is
a common practice, and the ones subjected to this practice can't do
much to change this (at least that's what I assume/hope). Also, it's
a feature request, so we say yes.

This code is mostly taken from VLC (commit f6e7240 from their git tree).
We also copy the way this is done: opening a rar file by itself yields
a playlist, which contains URLs to the actual entries in the rar file.
Compressed entries are simply skipped.
