- new optional "section size" parameter for BCJ2 filter for compression ratio improving.

The BUG was fixed:
- 7-Zip didn't restore NTFS permissions for folders during extracting from WIM archives.
- The command line version: if the command "rn" (Rename) was called with more than one pair of paths, 7-Zip used only first rename pair.
- Some bugs were fixed.
