Library-wise exception type

[fuzzah]

Please consider declaring a common exception type for the library (like SharpCompressException) and inheriting all specific exception types from it instead of subclassing base Exception class in different places.
It would improve user experience, as now users need to catch (Exception) which could mask actual errors such as hypothetical NullReferenceException in SharpCompress or exceptions thrown from some unrelated code residing in the same try block.

Sounds good

Base exception:
SharpCompressException from ApplicationException

Need to see what other exceptions I define as there seem to be some specific ones but mostly using framework ones

[reima]

Please be advised that custom exceptions should be derived from the Exception class, and not from ApplicationException (see remarks at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.applicationexception?view=net-9.0).

You're right. Not sure why I thought it was a good idea.

I also forgot the PR
