Support for creating tar archives.

lehins commented 6 years ago

This PR implements ability to create and restore tar files using a higher level abstraction that deals with file like data type FileInfo instead of Tar headers.

Other improvements are:

Ability to work with files directly on the file system.
Support for ustar format (file names up to 255 chars, etc.).
Ability to create and restore files with long file names (up to 4096) by using GNU tar L block type
Discard GNU tar format sparse files, same functionality as in #9
Fix compatibility with 32 bit OSes and 2Gb file size limit by using proper types
Added lts-10 to Travis
Improved speed of stack builds on Travis by adding .stack-work to cache

How come AppVeyor was removed? There's still Windows-specific support in the project, it seems prudent to continue testing it.

@chrisdone There was a quick attempt to configure AppVeyor at the beginning of the PR, i.e. it was never properly setup or even close to working condition. I just didn't have time to finish it as I was setting up 5 different CI environments at the same time and it was a bit too much. I do agree thought it be good to have it setup.

No problem, then, I can contribute an AppVeyor file myself to this repo. I'm reviewing this PR presently, as I have a bunch of time opened up.

OS X builds haven't even started yet, but everything else is green. I'm going to merge and release. Thank you!
