7z is not standalone and relies on 7z.so, but it allows loading external
codecs. (7za, 7zr, 7zz do not load external codecs.)

The following are taken from `DOC/readme.txt` in 7-Zip's source code:
> 7za.exe: Standalone version of 7-Zip console that supports only 
> 7z/xz/cab/zip/gzip/bzip2/tar
> 7zz.exe: Standalone version of 7-Zip console that supports only 7z (reduced 
> version)
> 7zr.exe: Standalone version of 7-Zip console that supports all formats.

Whether 7zz exists depends on how distros build and package 7-Zip.

On Ubuntu, 7zip does not provide 7zz, you have to install 7zip-standalone for
7zz.
On Arch Linux, 7zip does not provide 7zz.
On openSUSE, 7zip provides 7zz, 7z links to 7zz, 7za and 7zr links to 7z.
