Summary0000308: Fix and improve ARJ file information
DescriptionCurrent file 5.41 has an issue parsing the "original filename" from ARJ archive headers (wrong offset).

I updated the offset, as well as added more information based on open source documentation:
https://fossies.org/linux/unarj/unarj.c
https://www.fileformat.info/format/arj/corion.htm
http://hmelnov.icc.ru/geos/scripts/WWWBinV.dll/ShowR?ARJ.rfh

See the attached patch and hexdump of a sample file header (use xxd -r to restore).

Output before/after applying the patch:
test.arj: ARJ archive data, v11, slash-switched, original name: , os: Unix
test.arj: ARJ archive data, v11, slash-switched, original name: example_m0.arj, OS: Unix
