Attachment: unzp + fix slashes for http

this is a bug to hold a patch that will allow us to unzip files locally on the device instead of copying over the hundreds of files individually.

I have also added basic functionality for converting the slashes form \ to / in the case of http* cli args.

Blassey, this uses the 7z library that alexp has created.  I have tested this on .exe files produced by releng on the ftp site (it unzips and I can run fennec) as well as using '7z a xpcshell.7z xpcshell/*' generated files and it works great.

There is also a fix for the http:// args that we need to get going.  This is one issue that aki is blocked on to get talos winmo going again.

not a huge fan of the http:// work around. But I don't want to block on it, so let's land this and look for a better solution later.

r+ with some nits, which I'll fix when I push

we have had zip functionality in the agent for a few years.
