If unrar_path is set incorrectly tmp rar files are not deleted.

[brookesy2]

Haven't read through the code to get to the bottom of this (db.py/rars.py), but just had a situation where unrar was set incorrectly and my tmp dir filled with rars as they were not getting deleted.

Will investigate when I can.

I had a look, this is caused by a missed cleanup in pynab/rars.py::get_rar_info(). The actual rar temp file is written early with this:

       # if we got the requested articles, save them to a temp rar
        t = None
        with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile('wb', suffix='.rar', delete=False) as t:
            t.write(data.encode('ISO-8859-1'))
            t.flush()

Then a little later we do this:

            unrar_path = config.postprocess.get('unrar_path', '/usr/bin/unrar')
            if not (unrar_path and os.path.isfile(unrar_path) and os.access(unrar_path, os.X_OK)):
                log.error('rar: skipping archive decompression because unrar_path is not set or incorrect')
                log.error(
                    'rar: if the rar is not password protected, but contains an inner archive that is, we will not know')
            else:

Other error paths issue an os.remove(t.name) before returning.

It's probably cleanest to fix this by moving the 'unrar_path' checking all the way to the start of the function and bailing early. There's no point in saving the rar if we have no unrar to process it.

Agreed, which is what I did locally. When I get some time I can look to make a PR.
