Changes to pages/sqlar.in.

   117    117   Applications that already use SQLite for other purposes can easily
   118    118   add support for SQLite Archives using a small extension
   119    119   ([https://sqlite.org/src/file/ext/misc/sqlar.c]) to handle the compression

   121    121   if the files in the archive are uncompressed.  In contrast, supporting

          131  +files are wrapped inside a ZIP Archive or Tarball.
          132  +But these firewall usually do not care about SQLite Archives and
          133  +so content can be put inside an SQLite Archive to evade censorship.
