ArchiveStreamFactory could have static methods as well

                 Key: COMPRESS-61
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMPRESS-61
             Project: Commons Compress
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Sebb


ArchiveStreamFactory currently has to be instantiated in order to use it.

The methods have to be instance methods in order for subclasses to override 
them, but until that is done (will it ever be done?) it seems a bit unnecessary 
to create an instance of the class.

Perhaps there could be a private static instance of the class that could be 
used with public static methods?

The same considerations apply to the other factories.
