Add manual 7z.

[HolographicWings]

That would be interesting to add a manual way to 7z releases instead of zip, especially when the 7z releases are 3x smaller.
I'm unsure if theses changes are correct, Shell is not my thing.
Do i have anything to fix ?

I added to documentation the 7z type @HolographicWings

Well, that definitely don't work, the 7z creation work fine but the exclusions just don't work
I can't figure out how to fix that, i tried everything
For 7z, each exclusion must begin by -x!
for EXCLUSION in $INPUT_EXCLUSIONS don't split the exclusions from a long string to an array
to made the 7z exclusions work, spliting them on every spaces is required

Hey @HolographicWings!
First and foremost thank you for this contribution.
I considered using 7z initially instead of zip but the problem was that it was not available on Windows, so it did not fit the cross-platform availability requirement. That said, right now I don't see any harm in adding it as an alternative.

Actually, it for EXCLUSION in $INPUT_EXCLUSIONS does exactly that as Bash splits the string into words and skips the spaces between them when using a for loop.
