Not all compression gui can handle PaxHeader correctly (e.g. 7-zip in some cases)

By using gnu extension size field we can safely add file up to ~9PE~ 8PB (depends on the value of Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER)

Any updates?

@JixunMoe awesome!! is this a breaking change or is this still compat with all the existing stuff?

Maybe behind a flag, since is a gnu(?) implementation that might break another set of clients.

This PR is too old and out of sync with this repo. Might create another PR for this after more research about its compatibility...
