file-roller: easy install for additional archive format handling

Registered by Andrew Fuchs

*** THIS SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE UBUNTU PROJECT, BUT LAUNCHPAD ATTACHED IT TO THE LAUNCHPAD PROJECT ***

I just tried to open a 7zip archive (by clicking on it) and got this message:

  Could not open "Tomato_1_23.7z"
  Archive type not supported.

At this point I think most users would assume that they can not open the file. However, installing the 'p7zip' package remedies it.

If an archive can be opened after installing a package available in the default repositories, the user should be prompted to install it.
