7z archives with encrypted content

Hello,

amavis currently fails to handle 7z files with encrypted content.

To reproduce create a 7z file with encrypted content:

$ 7z a -ppass enc.7z /etc/hosts

This will result in amavisd logging the following error:

Dec  2 10:14:41 xxxxxxx amavis[16806]: (16806-01) (!!)collect_results from
[21779] (/usr/bin/7za): exit 2
\n7-Zip (A) [64] 9.20  Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov

Attached is a first attempt to make do_7zip() only extract unencrypted
content.

I still see 2 weak points in the patch:

 * make sure quoting is right for 7z
 * the file list may be to big for @ARGV
