This PR adds the option (disabled by default) to create 7-Zip archive files instead of ZIP files for world backups. From my testing, this compression method always creates smaller backup files than ZIP, so with this PR, server hosts can save more space on their hard drives.
Downsides of this PR are that .7z backups take longer to create than .zip, and the library I chose to do the .7z compression must be shaded into FTB-Backups, which I have added in the build.gradle of this PR. I could not test the curseforge publishing task, but building the jar normally works fine in-game.
If necessary, I can update this PR to the 1.18+ version of FTB-Backups whenever that releases.
