Added legacyTar option #9

Closed Xflofoxx closed 7 years ago

Xflofoxx commented 7 years ago

Added legacy tar option for opening Pre-POSIX.1-1988 (i.e. v7) tar. See issue https://github.com/kevva/decompress/issues/49

Per https://github.com/sindresorhus/file-type/issues/76#issuecomment-277231742, it should be possible to detect it in file-type, so I'm gonna pass on this. Every new option adds overhead to the code and the users, and this one feels too obscure.
