Show unix file attributes i listing
7-zip displays file attributes as dos/windows regardless what they actually are.
As example:
% 7z l a3.7z
Date Time Attr Size Compressed Name
------------------- ----- ------------ ------------ ------------------------

It would be more logical and beneficial, not only for unix users, if it displayed actual attributes, not some made up ones.
For example:
% 7z l a3.7z
Date Time Attr Size Compressed Name
------------------- ----- ------------ ------------ ------------------------
2023-02-24 09:23:52 D.H.. 0 0 .conf

2024-04-30 18:48:12 ....A 3284 2.txt
2023-02-24 09:23:52 .R..A 52 56 .conf/.desc
2024-04-30 18:48:12 .0644 511 2919 info/index.html

This way it would show actual unix attributes without changing layout of listing. It's important for scripts and addons/plugins like MultiArc that use fixed layout.
Exact same way of presenting attributes is used by zpaq.

It's fine and everyone understands it.
Not bad idea.
I would consider adding '/' at the end of directory names.
Then, It would look like this:
Technically, It wouldn't change anything except adding visual clue which name is directory and also informing script or plugins about that, so they didn't have to process attributes, or giving then double check.
